The Grove was named after a grove of trees which used to be here and was one of Carshalton's most striking sights. In the 18th century it was said that "Upon the east bank of the canal is a beautiful grove of high trees through which are walks conducted in a serpentine form that lead to an ornamental building or temple situated near the centre." In 1924 Carshalton Council bought The Grove estate. This is The Grove house of 1825. It is now Council offices.
