Anerley
Anerley is a district within the south east of London in the London Borough of Bromley. It is west of Bromley and is 7 miles south south-east of Charing Cross. It is the previous site of the Crystal Palace.
Anerley hasn't ever been its own independent entity, but just a general district. Just before the closure and relocation of the Crystal Palace to Penge Place at the top of Sydenham Hill, Anerley was an empty part of Penge Common that didn't develop until the 19th century. In 1827, a Scottish silk manufacturer, William Sanderson, bought land around the former Penge Common, and constructed the very first house in the district. He named it 'Anerly', which is a Scottish word for 'solitary' or 'only', and the road then became known as Anerley Road in addition to the vicinity.
There are lots of transport links in Anerley, including 9 bus routes, two A roads, two rail stations and one London Overground station and aTram station at Birkbeck station. Transport for London had proposed the extension of Tramlink services from Harrington Road tram stop to the bus station on Crystal Palace Parade by means of Anerley Road, but Mayor Boris Johnson cancelled the £170m extension in November 2008.
Notable people that lived in Anerley include Thomas Crapper, who promoted the flush toilet, in his retirement; Walter de la Mare, famous poet and author of ghost stories; and James Leavey, award-winning Punch magazine columnist.
