Oxshott and Stoke D'Abernon, Elmbridge: Jobs

Most people who live here work in professional, financial, or public services — and the majority now work from home, which shapes what the neighbourhood feels like day to day. Professional, scientific and technical roles are the biggest employer, accounting for around 17% of working residents. Financial and insurance work comes second at 14%, followed by education and health at roughly 9% each. Home working is really striking here. Around 66% of employed residents work mainly from home. That's well above the national average and reflects how many knowledge-based jobs are concentrated in the area. Of those who do commute out, most drive. Train use is relatively low despite the area's rail links. Bus use is minimal, which tells you this neighbourhood is built around car ownership.
