UNCLE Acton

Today a bustling, modern melting-pot of culture sitting just south of the River Thames, Stockwell is one of the oldest hamlets in Lambeth. Undoubtedly one of London’s hidden gems, the area took off in the early 1800s, populated by an abundance of late-Georgian and early Victorian houses, still some of the finest in London to this day.

It’s hard to imagine now, but the booming modern metropolis that is Wembley started life as a tiny village perched on top of a hill. Over the past 500 years, however, the area has gone from a handful of houses to one of London’s most bustling boroughs with a population of 125,000. And there are countless things to do in Wembley.
