Unsure where contact is coming from. I thinks I am going to see them rather than them coming to see me.
Balham
Balham is a district in south London inside the London Borough of Wandsworth. The settlement appears inside the Domesday Book as Belgeham. Bal signifies ‘rounded enclosure’ and ham a homestead, village or river enclosure. The location has been settled since Saxon times, and Balham Hill and Balham High Road follow the line of the Roman road Stane Street to Chichester.
Balham encompasses the A24 north of Tooting Bec along with the roads coming off it. The southern area of Balham which is near Tooting Bec features a block of 1930s Art Deco flats called Du Cane Court. There is also the Heaver Estate which is in Tooting, which comprises substantial houses. It was built within the grounds of the old Bedford Hill House by local Victorian builder Alfred Heaver.
Balham is located between four south London commons, namely Clapham Common to the north, Wandsworth Common towards the west, Tooting Graveney Common towards the south as well as the connecting Tooting Bec to the east.
During WW2, on 14th October 1940, Balham tube station was badly damaged by air raids on London. Families sheltered in the tube station throughout the raids, however a bomb fell in the High Road and through the top of the Underground station, bursting a water and gas mains and killing around 64 people. Ian McEwan describes the event in his novel ‘Atonement’, published in 2001.
