Egham has several clubs including a brass band that’s over 100 years old (the history, not the band members) a fencing club and a choral society.

For an odd bit of trivia, in the graveyard is a coffin suspended by chains – the deceased did not want to be buried or remain above the ground after they died. This clever solution allowed the family to collect the inheritance!

Local Information forEpsom

Epsom, to the south of Greater London, is located in the borough of Epsom and Ewell in Surrey. It is famously known for being the home of the Epsom Derby, a horse race on the Epsom Downs. Held every June, the derby is the second leg of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing in England. After the first running of the Epsom Oaks in 1779, the 12th Earl of Derby and Sir Charles Bunbury flipped a coin to see who would have a race named after them the next year. The Earl won, as did his horse that day (Bridget). The following year, at the first Epsom Derby, Sir Charles’ horse Diomed won, and so it all began!

At one stage, Epsom had five psychiatric hospitals located quite close to each other: Manor Hospital (built 1899), Saint Ebba’s Hosptial (1902), Horton Hospital (1903), Long Grove Hospital (1907, and exactly the same as Horton to save time), and West Park Hospital (started in 1912, completed in 1921). They were built on land at Epsom Downs, by the London County Council to ease the overcrowding of its other hospitals, and were called the ‘Epsom Cluster’. Horton, Manor and Long Grove Hospitals are now residential and West Park and Saint Ebba’s Hospitals having only limited services.

The home has beautifully landscaped gardens, and includes King Henry VIII’s Mound, the highest point in the park. From the mound you can see Saint Paul’s Cathedral in London.

Another building is the White Lodge, built in 1727 as a hunting lodge for George II. In 1751, it fell into the hands of Princess Amelia, daughter of Queen Caroline (Caroline being the King’s consort).

Local Information for Brompton

Brompton can be found in the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and boasts many landmarks.

Brompton Cemetery, managed by the Royal Parks, is one of the Magnificent Seven (a group of cemeteries built around London as part of an initiative in the 1800s to provide large, modern cemeteries; the inner-city cemeteries being attached mostly to churches could no longer provide a dignified or hygienic way to bury the dead). It has featured in a number of movies, and people nowadays use it more as a park than a place to remember the deceased inside. Beatrix Potter took many of her animal’s names from tombstones in the cemetery.

The Holy Trinity is a church in Brompton, credited with initiating the first Alpha course. The creator of Alpha, Nicky Gumbel, has been the vicar of the church since 2005. The church was consecrated in 1829, after a three year construction period, has undergone several rebuilds in its time.

On Brompton Road, next to the Victoria and Albert Museum, lies the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, more popularly (but incorrectly) known as The Oratory. Consecrated in 1884, it is the second largest Roman Catholic church in London, after Westminster Cathedral.

From there, take a drive in your car to the Royal Brompton Hospital (formerly the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest) and look around the hospital that took in people suffering from tuberculosis (consumption) – at the time, turned away from other hospitals as there was no cure.

Local Information for Elmers End

Elmers End is a place in the London Borough of Bromley and there are numerous theories on how Elmers End got its name. One theory is in 1226, the end or part of the parish (of Beckenham) was owned by the Elmer or Aylmer family. Another theory is that a famous highwayman, Elmer, was hung at the crossroads, making it literally ‘Elmer’s end’. However since the name of the city is “Elmers End” and not “Elmer’s,” it apparently wasn’t named after a person, and if it was named after a whole family, it would be “Elmers’”. Lastly, another theory of the Elmers End origin is that, simply, there are a lot of elm trees in the area and the city was originally named “Elms End.”

However the original Victorian railway companies were notorious for both getting place names wrong when naming their stations and for trying to make station names grander than was really justified, therefore the misspelling, or flourishing, of the name makes that theory plausible.

Local Information for Bow and Old Ford

Located within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets is the area of Old Ford, once part of Bow. Bow is also within the borough of Tower Hamlets situated in East London. The name Old Ford comes from the ancient crossing of the River Lee, at the most downstream point – drive in your minibus hire down the modern Oxford Street and Old Street and you’d be travelling along the old route that pre-dates Roman times.

Roman occupation at Old Ford is evidenced by findings from the 300-400s. Legend has it that in 1110 the wife of Henry I, Matilda, fell at the ford, and ordered a bridge of three arches and a bow shape to be built over the Lee. This bridge and the church that was later built form the centre of the current area of Bow. Indeed, Saint Mary’s church now stands on a traffic island and parts of it date back to the early 1300s. The building of the bridge did not relegate Old Ford to a disused area but it continued to thrive (albeit as a rural area and largely isolated) and the population centre eventually moved to Bow in the Middle Ages.

Such was the difficult journey to the church in Stepney (Saint Dunstan’s) that the population of Bow were given special dispensation to worship in the chapel of ease.

A car and a good friend is the most logical way to get to the airport with a group of people, so why not save yourself the time and money – and put both towards your holiday!
