Kenley
Kenley is a district in the south of the London Borough of Croydon (traditionally in Surrey). Kenley is situated 13 miles south of Charing Cross. Significant parts of Kenley lie within the Metropolitan Green Belt. In particular, the south of Kenley is dominated by the open green spaces of Kenley Common and Kenley Aerodrome. The 2011 census noted Kenley having a population of 14,966. For centuries, Kenley became part of Coulsdon Manor which covered all of the area and was predominantly farm land, with a handful of big homes and their estates. The formal opening of the train on 4 August 1856 changed Kenley. The new railway triggered urban growth. By the end of the Victorian era, Kenley had assumed its own identity. Kenley Common makes up fifty-six hectares of green open space surrounding an one-time Battle of Britain airfield. It is a blend of chalk grassland and ancient woodland set within carefully rolling hills. Blessed with great views across the Caterham valley and the North Downs beyond, visitors find it tough to think that the centre of London is just 14 miles to the north. Just one of Kenley's landmark buildings is the Memorial Hall. It was opened in 1922 to celebrate those who gave their lives in World War I. It was consequently extended and re-opened by Group Captain Douglas Bader in 1975. Hammond Innes' book Attack Alarm was based on his experiences as a Royal Artillery anti-aircraft gunner at RAF Kenley during the Battle of Britain. It features graphic descriptions of the station and attacks on it in 1940. English Heritage identified Kenley as the "most complete fighter airfield connected with the Battle of Britain to have survived". For all of your home enhancements, make certain to identify trustworthy professionals in Kenley to make certain of quality.
