During the Saxon and Norman period Teddington was known as Todyngton and Tutington. The name itself actually comes from an old English tribal leader. The area that Teddington sits on, has evidence to link inhabitants back to the Roman occupation. The first proper settlers where no doubt the Saxons. Around the fourteenth century there was probably around 200 people living in Teddington. The Abbot Of Westminster was the main landowner who rented land to tenants in exchange for working the land.

During the reign of Henry VIII some of the land in Teddington was taken by the King to create extra hunting grounds. This area formed Bushy Park.

By 1800 the number of people living in Teddington has increased to around 700. The main reason for this was the Hampton Court Palace which brought a lot of employment.. In 1811 the Teddington Lock was built which created a link between Teddington and Ham. A suspension bridge was also built in 1889. You like to drive over this bridge in your car hire and admire the scenery. Once the railway line arrived the towns inhabitants shot up rapidly to 14,037 by 1901. To provide for all these extra people many more roads and homes were constructed. The roads of the town today are interconnected very closely with lots of Victorian and Edwardion style houses. Look out of your car hire window at some of these beautiful period houses.
