Esher (pronounced /Ë?iËÊ?É?r/ (listen), not */Ë?É?Ê?É?r/) is a town in the Surrey borough of Elmbridge in South East England near the River Mole. It is a very prosperous part of the Greater London Urban Area, largely suburban in character, and is situated 14.1 miles (22.7 km) south west of Charing Cross.
The area acquired its name during the 1930s when the then new Kingston by-pass road rejoined the original route of the Portsmouth Road that was then the A3 road, now the A307. A series of roundabouts were produced at the busy (for the 1930s) intersection; in those days they were a novelty and in common parlance were called "traffic islands". The complexity of the layout caused them to be called the 'silly islands' which, as the name became accepted, evolved into 'the Scilly Isles'. This name is now well established as will be seen from maps of that area.

From the start, City Road station was little used, and discussions of its closure took place as early as 1908.[1] However, the station remained open until 8 August 1922 when the C&SLR's northern section between Euston and Moorgate was closed to enable the diameter of the tunnels to be increased from 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in) to the Underground's standard diameter of 3.56 m (11 ft 8¼ in), so that larger and longer Standard Stock trains could be operated.
