New Malden
New Malden is a suburban area in southwest London, in the boroughs of Kingston and Merton. It lies 9.4 miles from Charing Cross, with neighboring areas being Kingston upon Thames, Raynes Park, Surbiton, Tolworth, Wimbledon and Worcester Park. The town developed wholly because of the coming of the railway when New Malden Railway Station opened in 1846 on the main line from Waterloo. The name comes from the former village of old Malden, which was 2 miles to the south of the town, which translates from Old English as 'the cross on the hill'. Development of residences went off with a slow start, starting to accelerate nearer the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century after the establishment of both 2 and three bedroom terraced homes. From the 1930s, the construction of detached and semi-detached homes started. The town is the home of a wide array of social, sports and leisure activities. The Malden Centre is a sports centre featuring a swimming pool, a gym and community facilities, alongside offering adult learning courses. A football pitch, tennis courts, a children's play ground, allotments and open area can be discovered at Beverley Park. In terms of shopping possibilities, the 15000 citizens of Malden have a variety of independent and national shops in which to go shopping. Formed in 1913, Tudor Williams Ltd. is a family-run department store located in the High Street. The company has stores throughout England, most recently in Elphicks of Farnham and Knights of Reigate. Throughout the Christmas period of each year, the High Street is covered with lights, having its own switching-on ceremony.
