Local Information for Blackheath

Close

The most notable landmark of the south east London village of Blackheath is its heath, located in the centre of the area. Straddling the boroughs of Lewisham and Greenwich, its historical village can be found to the south of the heath. The more modern area of this leafy suburb, known as Blackheath Standard, can be found to the north.

Its position along the ancient Roman road, Watling Street, allowed a Roman settlement to develop here. However, this prime location suffered greatly as a result of it. Its rich history includes battles waged during the reign of Etherlred the Unready and the Battle of Blackheath. During the 17th century, the area was the haunt of highwaymen who targeted stagecoaches making their way from London to Channel ports and north Kent.

Blackheath is well-positioned for your group’s travel plans, wherever your destination may be. The A21 is just a short drive in your minibus rental and provides access to Hastings, Bromley and Orpington. The A20 offers connections with Kent towns, central London and the M25. Those crossing the Channel in their minibus can reach Dover in less than 90 minutes.

Local Information for The Stoneleigh

Close

Stoneleigh is a small area in Surrey situated in the Epsom and Ewell district. The village was developed around the Stoneleigh Railway Station and the Broadway. This area was only developed in the 1930’s and until then was basically farm land and open fields. There is a red brick Anglican Church that was built here at that time. With your car you can explore this lovely place and view the parks that were part of Nonsuch Palace.

This palace was one of the Tudor palaces that Henry the Eighth lived in and was destroyed in the 17th century. Many pieces were sold to be used in other buildings, but the only remains of the banqueting hall are at the British Museum which you can visit with your car. The royal hunting grounds were sold off into farmlands, but some of them remain today as Nonsuch Park. In this park you will find The Mansion House to the west built in the 1800’s.

The Bowling Green Farmhouse and Coldharbour farmhouse were the original farms in this area and the owner John Stone built a house for himself that he called Stoneleigh. This is how the area got its name. Currently there are only 4500 people living in this village which makes it so quaint and friendly to visit with your car.
