New Malden
New Malden is a suburb 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 entirely since of the coming of the railway when New Malden Railway Station opened in 1846 on the primary line from Waterloo. The name stems from the prior 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'. Building of houses went off with a slow start, beginning to increase nearer the end of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century after the establishment of both two and 3 bed room terraced homes. From the 1930s, the construction of detached and semi-detached houses began. 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 providing adult learning courses. A football pitch, tennis courts, a kids's recreation space, allotments and open area can be found at Beverley Park. In terms of shopping opportunities, the 15000 residents of Malden have a variety of independent and national stores in which to shop. Developed in 1913, Tudor Williams Ltd. is a family-run department store situated in the High Street.
