Penge Local Information

Penge is a place in the London Borough of Bromley 7 miles south east of Charing Cross. Penge used to be known in Saxon times as Penceat a Celtic word meaning ‘the hill in the forest’. Historically Penge was part of the Manor at Battersea even though it was separated from the rest of the parish by a distance of 12 miles.

Until 1809 Penge was only visited by people looking for firewood or for grazing their sheep. But with the opening of the Croydon Canal that year visitors began to arrive from London and Croydon to enjoy the surrounding countryside.

The London to Croydon railway replaced the canal in 1839 and residential development was encouraged. Penge developed into a fashionable suburb of London in Victorian times due to its proximity to the relocated Crystal Palace.

Some of the original larger Victorian developments began to be replaced by newer houses after the First World War but it was World War 2 that resulted in the greatest changes. Penge was reputedly the most bombed town in the country with the most serious damage occurring after 1944 when the flying bombs began to arrive. Major new developments took place in the areas most affected by bomb damage.

The Car Hire Company will provide you with a quality van rental at a value price and our delivery and collection service is what separates us from the competition.
