Lovelace Road, Surbiton
In 1834 an Act for building a railway between London and Southampton received Royal Assent. Local councillors in Kingston, coupled with the coaching interests and Lord Cottenham, owner of much of the land between Kingston and Wimbledon, objected to the railway running through the town, and so the railway was forced to pass a mile and a half to the south. A station opened in 1838 at what was then called “Kingston New Town” or, from 1841, “Kingston-on-Railway”. This was subsequently named Surbiton. The fine houses and good rail service attracted wealthy commuters and earned Surbiton the title of “Queen of the Suburbs”.
This is Lovelace Road which runs parallel to the railway line. Some of the fine houses along this road have been demolished and flats built on the sites.

Plough and Harrow, Long Ditton
Former Courage pub that appears to open on the owners whim.
An email I was kindly sent on 29th Nov 07 informs me that this pub has been given a new lease of life as a community pub and is now worthy of a visit to sample Youngs and Fullers beers and convivial conversation!
