Lost City

Lost City was a theme park just outside Chertsey that promised adventure and excitement to families in Surrey. The park featured various rides and attractions themed around an archaeological lost civilization concept - think jungle ruins, temple facades, and the sort of theming that appealed to kids in the 1990s and early 2000s.

It's worth knowing upfront that Lost City has now closed. The site no longer operates as a theme park, which means a trip here won't involve the rides or entertainment it once offered. If you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks in the area - Penton Park, Laleham Camping Club, or Chertsey Caravan Park are all within walking or short driving distance - you won't find Lost City as an option for a day out.

The closure reflects a broader trend with smaller regional theme parks in the UK, which have struggled to compete with larger attractions like Chessington World of Adventures or Thorpe Park. Families who remember visiting will find nostalgia rather than functioning attractions.

If you're based in Chertsey for a caravan holiday, you're better served looking at other local activities - the River Thames is nearby for walks, and there are decent pubs and cafes in town. Walton on Thames, just down the road, offers more riverside character. It's one of those places where the memory outlasts the reality, unfortunately.
