Laleham Village is a riverside community which contains many fine 18th and 19th century properties.

Tradition maintains that the All Saints Church in Laleham stands on the site of a former small Roman Temple.  The church itself has pillars and arcades dating back to the 12th century, with a tower built in 1732, and some masonry inside the church dating back to the 16th century.  In the churchyard are the graves of the 3rd Earl of Lucan, who commanded the Heavy Brigade of cavalry at Balaclava and Matthew Arnold and his family.

The former Laleham Abbey, originally known as Laleham House, was built for the Earl of Lucan between 1803 and 1806.  When the Lucan family left the village the 70 acres of Abbey grounds were given for public use and they now form Laleham Park, which is for recreational use.

The oldest public house in Laleham is "The Three Horseshoes" on the Shepperton Road which dates back to at least the middle of the 17th century.
