It is very close to the present border with Surrey, and is not far from Ascot and Virginia Water. It is situated 24 miles (38 km) west of London and 7 miles (11 km) east of Camberley on the A30 national route. Sunningdale has a station on the Waterloo to Reading line.

The present-day civil parish of Sunningdale was, until 1995, partly in Berkshire and partly in Surrey. The Surrey area of the village, known as Broomhall, and including the World-famous golf course, was also split between the boroughs of Surrey Heath and Runnymede. This original arrangement caused problems and was resolved only after much consultation locally between the two county councils, three borough councils and four parish councils.

The Sunningdale Agreement was signed at Sunningdale Park, the Civil Service Staff College (now the National School of Government) on 9 December 1973, part of the Northern Ireland peace process. [1]

Famous residents have included British pop group Five Star who resided at the Stone Court estate, London Road, between 1987 and 1990. The area is also popular with professional golfers.
