New Malden
New Malden is a suburb in southwest London, in the boroughs of Kingston and Merton. It is situated 9.4 miles from Charing Cross, with nearby localities being Kingston upon Thames, Raynes Park, Surbiton, Tolworth, Wimbledon and Worcester Park. The town developed entirely because of the coming of the train when New Malden Railway Station opened in 1846 on the main line from Waterloo. The name arises from the original village of old Malden, which was two miles to the south of the town, which translates from Old English as 'the cross on the hill'. Construction of residences went off with a sluggish start, beginning to speed up nearer the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century after the construction of both two and three bed room terraced houses. From the 1930s, the building of detached and semi-detached homes began. The town is the home of a wide array of social, sports and leisure activities. The Malden Centre is a sports centre including a swimming pool, a gym and community facilities, along with providing adult learning courses. A football pitch, tennis courts, a children's play ground, allotments and open area can be located at Beverley Park. In terms of shopping options, the 15000 locals of Malden have a number of independent and national stores in which to shop. Established in 1913, Tudor Williams Ltd. is a family-run department store located in the High Street.
