Norbiton

Norbiton is a place in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, London. It lies approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Kingston upon Thames's town centre, and 11 miles (17.7 km) from Charing Cross. Its main landmarks include Kingston Hospital and Kingsmeadow football stadium, which is currently used for the home matches of both AFC Wimbledon and Kingstonian F.C.. St Peter's Church is also located at the other end of the area. Its name was originally Norberton(e), [from the Old English north buritum' or granary], as it was named in a similar way to Surbiton on the opposite side of the Hogsmill River. Norbiton's housing stock largely consists of large family Victorian and Edwardian houses, plus small localised brownfield redevelopments...
