Learn more about hotels in Wallington

Wallington, stemming from the Anglo Saxon "Waletone", which translates to the "village of the Britons", is a town firmly rooted in history. Its inclusion in the Domesday Book of 1086 and its historical ties to William the Conqueror offer fascinating insights into the heritage. Before the Municipal Borough of Beddington and Wallington merged into the London Borough of Sutton in 1965, it was part of the lush county of Surrey.

In the late 19th century, Wallington saw significant development. This was marked by the creation of a prestigious housing estate composed of Gothic Revival villas by Nathaniel Bridges and the establishment of Wallington High School for Girls in 1888. Furthermore, the town was a lavender oil production centre until around the First World War, adding to its unique legacy.

Wallington is a haven for nature lovers, boasting beautiful parks such as Mellows Park, Beddington Park, and the Grange Gardens. It has top-notch transport links, with rail, bus, and coach services connecting it to various cities, including Victoria and London Bridge. Its sporting spirit is visible in its Non-League football club, Crescent Rovers F.C. Meanwhile, the town proudly celebrates local Paralympian David Weir with four gold post boxes.
