Surbiton Local Information
Surbiton is a suburb of London, situated in the Royal Borough of
Kingston upon Thames. It is a mixture of Art-Deco courts, 19th century
town houses and 20th century housing estates.
There is evidence of a settlement in Surbiton as far back as 1179.
Prior to the arrival of the railway, the town was a rural area of
farms, some brick kilns, a few very large houses and 2 pubs; the
Waggon and Horses and the Plough Inn.
Surbiton railway station opened in 1838 and the town began to prosper.
Surbiton stands on the main line linking London with Portsmouth
and Southampton.
Most of the development was financed by Coutts’ Bank. As
well as housing, they provided the land and most of the funds to
build St. Mark’s Church. Two schools were also built "for
the poor of the parish", one for boys, and one for girls and
infants.
During the 2nd World War, Surbiton suffered from bomb damage mainly
close to the railway line. One bomb well through the middle of the
roof of St. Mark’s Church. The church could not be saved.
A temporary church was built in 1949 and a new permanent church
was eventually opened in 1960.
