Thames Ditton Local Information

Thames Ditton is a village in the County of Surrey. It is 12.2 miles south west of Charing Cross and is on the border of the Greater London area. Despite its proximity to London, it still retains its village character.

The village is first mentioned in a Royal charter dated 983 and also in the Domesday Book of 1086. After the Norman Conquest, Thames Ditton was given to the monks of Merton Priory who built a church which was completed by 1179.

The village had no real significance until the construction of Hampton Court Palace. When King Henry VIII claimed the palace in 1525 the village started to grow as palace workers took up residence there. Thames Ditton Island became the main crossing point across the Thames for people travelling from Surrey to the Palace.

During the 18th century, highwaymen plagued the roads around the village. By 1801, there were around 1,300 people living in the village. Many of these would have been employed as domestic or ancillary workers at Hampton Court or other nearby mansions. The village continued to grow during the 19th century with the coming of the railway in 1849.

Between 1911 and 1980, the village was home to the AC Cars factory, a specialist automobile manufacturer. The company is now based in Malta and its former Thames Ditton site is an office complex.
