Tolworth Local Information

Just a short drive in your car rental from London, is the village of Tolworth, located in the borough of Kingston Upon Thames. This mostly residential area was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, as Taleorde. Tolworth Farm has been a working farm since the Domesday Book times, and a manor on the farm was once owned by Peter da Tolworth. It dates back to Medieval Times! In the 1500s, however, stone from the farm and manor was taken to build the new Nonsuch Palace nearby – and the grand manor was downgraded to a farm once more.

Actor Alan Wheatley, an actor from the 1950’s, was made popular through his portrayal of The Sheriff of Nottingham in the television series Robin Hood. Born in Tolworth, Wheatley was the first person to be shot by a Dalek in another popular television series, Doctor Who, in 1964.

The shopping centre to go to in Tolworth is the Broadway. Located on Broadway, it is highlighted by a huge tower – Tolworth Tower – which now houses, amongst other things, a Travelodge Hotel. The tower is almost 81 metres tall, with the ground floor of the 22 floors presently home to a Marks and Spencer. Park your car rental in the ample parking station and spend the day browsing the shops that line Broadway and perhaps rest with a coffee.

Art-book publisher Taschen has included Tolworth Tower in its book of ‘Boring Postcards’, so perhaps your day out should not include a sight-seeing tour of the tower from your car rental! Radio Jackie has its antenna on top of the tower, and its offices and studios are located on Broadway too. Radio Jackie is now an independent local radio station, but began its life as a pirate station. It broadcasts to south west London and north Surrey.
