Local Information for Brompton

Close

Brompton can be found in the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and boasts many landmarks.

Brompton Cemetery, managed by the Royal Parks, is one of the Magnificent Seven (a group of cemeteries built around London as part of an initiative in the 1800s to provide large, modern cemeteries; the inner-city cemeteries being attached mostly to churches could no longer provide a dignified or hygienic way to bury the dead). It has featured in a number of movies, and people nowadays use it more as a park than a place to remember the deceased inside. Beatrix Potter took many of her animal’s names from tombstones in the cemetery.

The Holy Trinity is a church in Brompton, credited with initiating the first Alpha course. The creator of Alpha, Nicky Gumbel, has been the vicar of the church since 2005. The church was consecrated in 1829, after a three year construction period, has undergone several rebuilds in its time.

On Brompton Road, next to the Victoria and Albert Museum, lies the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, more popularly (but incorrectly) known as The Oratory. Consecrated in 1884, it is the second largest Roman Catholic church in London, after Westminster Cathedral.

From there, take a drive in your car to the Royal Brompton Hospital (formerly the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest) and look around the hospital that took in people suffering from tuberculosis (consumption) – at the time, turned away from other hospitals as there was no cure.

Local Information for Bow and Old Ford

Close

Located within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets is the area of Old Ford, once part of Bow. Bow is also within the borough of Tower Hamlets situated in East London. The name Old Ford comes from the ancient crossing of the River Lee, at the most downstream point – drive in your minibus hire down the modern Oxford Street and Old Street and you’d be travelling along the old route that pre-dates Roman times.

Roman occupation at Old Ford is evidenced by findings from the 300-400s. Legend has it that in 1110 the wife of Henry I, Matilda, fell at the ford, and ordered a bridge of three arches and a bow shape to be built over the Lee. This bridge and the church that was later built form the centre of the current area of Bow. Indeed, Saint Mary’s church now stands on a traffic island and parts of it date back to the early 1300s. The building of the bridge did not relegate Old Ford to a disused area but it continued to thrive (albeit as a rural area and largely isolated) and the population centre eventually moved to Bow in the Middle Ages.

Such was the difficult journey to the church in Stepney (Saint Dunstan’s) that the population of Bow were given special dispensation to worship in the chapel of ease.

A car and a good friend is the most logical way to get to the airport with a group of people, so why not save yourself the time and money – and put both towards your holiday!

Local Information for Addiscombe

Close

Addiscombe is in the London Borough of Croydon and is largely a commuter suburb due to its many train and bus links to Central London, Croydon and Wimbledon.

The house Addiscombe Place was built in 1702 replacing an Elizabethan mansion that stood there at the corner of Outram Road and Mulberry Lane. In 1809 it was sold to the British East India Company which imported tea, coffee, silk, spices and cotton.

As the company kept their own private army, the house became a Military Seminary where officers received training before travelling to India. After the Indian Rebellion (otherwise known as the First War of Indian Independence, or the Indian Mutiny) the company ceased to be in 1857. There are five roads south of the house named after people who were prominent in the suppression of the mutiny – Outram, Havelock, Elgin, Clyde and Canning Roads. Oddly, these people were not actually part of the college run by the British East India Company.

In 1863 the house was demolished, and all that now remains are the buildings on the corner of Clyde and Addiscombe Roads, “Ashleigh” and “India”. The old gym on Havelock Road is now private apartments.

Acton is a suburb of London and is located over two boroughs – East Acton is in Hammersmith and Fullham, while the rest and majority of Acton lies in Ealing. Hundreds of years ago there was a road from London and Oxford and along this road were several inns, where weary travellers would rest. Acton also lies on this road, the modern day Uxbridge Road, and some of the inns are still around. The main road between London and Oxford is now the A40 dual carriageway.

Drive down Uxbridge Road in your carand see if you can spot any old inns. Then tour Acton itself in your car and try to find some of the areas made famous by famous people. All members of The Who were born in Acton and all of them with the exception of Keith Moon went to Acton High School. Pete Townsend’s solo album ‘All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes’ contained a track called ‘Stardom in Acton’. The film clip was shot in and around Acton High Street.

For fans of Monty Python, the ‘Bicycle Repair Man’ sketch was filmed on Churchfield Road. The disused Acton Power Station was host to filming for the movies ‘Aliens’ and ‘Batman’. Acton also boasts some beautiful old buildings – why not be a tourist in your own town and visit them in your car. Buildings such as Saint Mary’s Church, located on a site where a church dedicated in her name has stood since the 1100s.

Today, the town is still referred to as a “village” by residents because of its rural feel and architecture. Despite it’s location on the southern edge of Greater London, West Ewell enjoys the quiet life blended in with the modern luxuries of the 21st century to make a truly unique area.

Many films were made here including Carol Reed’s ‘The Third Man’ and Kenneth Brannagh’s ‘Frankenstein’. The town is the home of ‘Empire of the Sun’ author J.G. Ballard, who used Shepperton as a backdrop for his controversial novel ‘Crash’.

Shepperton is well placed for touring locally and nationally. Bisected by the M3, it offers easy access to cities, towns and suburbs including: Sunbury-upon-Thames, Farnborough, Basingstoke, Bracknell, Portsmouth and Winchester.
