A Little Bit About TW8
The TW postcode area has 20 postcode districts covering parts of south west London, north-west Surrey and a very small part of Berkshire. The postal district of TW8 covers Brentford, Kew Bridge and Syon Park. The local authority covering these areas is Hounslow.
In 54 BC Brentford is a likely site of a battle recorded by Julius Cæsar between Julius Cæsar and the local king, Cassivellaunus. The settlement pre-dates the Roman occupation of Britain, and thus pre-dates the founding of London itself. Many pre-Roman artifacts have been excavated in and around the area in Brentford known as ‘Old England’. Griffin Park, home of Brentford FC is named after an old local brewery which owned the land thereabouts – perhaps explaining the fact that uniquely in English football there is a pub at every corner of the place.
The earliest written reference to Kew is thought to be contained in Julius Caesar’s Gallic Wars, as the location where the Roman Army forded the Thames in 54 BC. The name Kew is a combination of two words: the Old French kai (landing place; “quay” derives from this) and Old English hoh (spur of land). The land spur is the bend in the Thames. Henry V developed a Carthusian monastery to the south west of where Kew Observatory now stands.
Kew is widely known for being the location of the Royal Botanic Gardens (Kew Gardens), now a World Heritage Site, which includes Kew Palace. Kew has the oldest pot plant in the world: a cycad brought to Kew from South Africa in 1775 by Francis Masson. Kew Palace is the smallest of the British royal palaces. It was built by Samuel Fortrey, a Dutch merchant in around 1631. It was later purchased by George III.
