Norbury Local Information

In the London borough of Croydon a short drive away in your car rental from Charing Cross is the suburb of Norbury. The name is thought to derive from ‘North Burgh’, as it was a town on the northern border of the former manor of Croydon. Actually, Norbury was a sub-manor of Croydon, held by the same family who also owned Beddington.

Norbury Farm was the manor house – this was unfortunately demolished in 1914. However, Norbury Hall (located on Craignish Avenue) does still exist, albeit as a nursing home. This grade II listed building was constructed in 1802.

Norbury borders on the boroughs of Merton and Lambeth and the River Graveney forms part of its boundary between Streatham; the river then flows into the Wandle and then on to the Thames.

The rail line came to Norbury in 1862, but a station was not built until 1878. The horse-drawn tram didn’t stretch to town, and the town had to wait until 1901 for electric trams to connect them with other towns all the way to Purley. Then it was 1925 before London and Croydon had the same kinds of tram tracks, so passengers travelling further down the line did not have to change at Norbury. Imagine how much simpler times would have been with a car rental (or any kind of car, for that matter!).

Take your car rental around town and see if you can’t find the former home of Kingsley Amis, novelist, poet, teacher and critic. Father to novelist Martin Amis, Kingsley wrote some 20-plus books, three books of poetry and many more works including television scripts and short stories.
