Get Kenley [pros|landscapers]

Kenley is a district in the south of the London Borough of Croydon (traditionally in Surrey). Kenley is set 13 miles south of Charing Cross. Significant sections of Kenley lie within the Metropolitan Green Belt. In particular, the south of Kenley is dominated by the open green spaces of Kenley Common and Kenley Aerodrome. The 2011 census noted Kenley having a population of 14,966. For centuries, Kenley belonged to Coulsdon Manor which covered the entire area and was predominantly farm land, with a few huge houses and their estates. The formal opening of the train on 4 August 1856 changed Kenley. The brand-new train triggered urban progression. By the end of the Victorian era, Kenley had actually assumed its own identity. Kenley Common constitutes fifty-six hectares of green open space surrounding a former Battle of Britain airfield. It is a blend of chalk grassland and ancient forest set among carefully rolling hills. Blessed with great views across the Caterham valley and the North Downs beyond, visitors find it difficult to think that the centre of London is only 14 miles to the north. Amongst Kenley’s landmark buildings is the Memorial Hall. It was opened in 1922 to celebrate those who offered their lives in World War I. It was eventually extended and re-opened by Group Captain Douglas Bader in 1975. Hammond Innes’ book Attack Alarm was based upon his experiences as a Royal Artillery anti-aircraft gunner at RAF Kenley through the Battle of Britain. It features graphic descriptions of the station and attacks on it in 1940. English Heritage described Kenley as the “most comprehensive fighter airfield linked to the Battle of Britain to have survived”.
