History

The area was home to a number of Celtic settlements but it remained mostly woodland and farms until the 18th century. The expansion of London resulted in development. As a result a number of the woods were cleared for housing. The railway arrived in the 19th century and the station became the focal point of the area.

A 10 acre site in the area became the home of a workhouse. Construction began in 1899 and was complete in 1902. In 1914 the British Army requisitioned the building and it transformed into a training camp. The building eventually became Grove Park Hospital, offering treatment for TB sufferers and other thoracic problems. The hospital closed in 1994 and the site was redeveloped. Only a handful of the buildings remain.
