New Malden is a suburban area in southwest London, in the boroughs of Kingston and Merton.

The town established completely since of the coming of the train when New Malden Railway Station opened in 1846 on the primary line from Waterloo. The name stems from the one-time 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 homes went off with a slow start, beginning to increase nearer the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century after the establishment of both two 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.
