Runnymede is a local government district with borough status in the English county of Surrey.
The district is named after Runnymede, a water meadow on the banks of the River Thames in the parish of Egham. Runnymede is celebrated in connection with the signature of Magna Carta by King John in 1215, and is the site of several significant monuments.
