#Moorgate was one of the gates in City of London's defensive wall. Moorfields, an open area of marsh, was north of the wall. There are descriptions of Moorgate from the early 15th century. The gate, along with the other London city wall gates, was demolished around 1761.

Regarding #ClaphamJunction, #ClaphamCommon, #ClaphamNorth and #ClaphamSouth, early records call it “Cloppaham” and “Clopeham”. “Ham” means “homestead”. “Clopp” means “near a hill”. In medieval times, Clapham was tiny, but it grew after the plague (1665) and the great fire (1666).

#Knightsbridge (my mum told me she’s excited for this one 🤣)...
Knightsbridge, at one time, was just marshland with crossings and bridges. Some claim that one of these bridges was used by knights en route to the Holy Land, to get a blessing from the Bishop of London in Fulham.

Let’s talk about #HighStreetKensington, #KensingtonOlympia, #SouthKensington and #WestKensington together. The area has been called Kensington for a very long time - it’s mentioned in the Doomsday book of 1086. Kensington probably comes from Chenesitun, town of Chenesi’s people.

#GloucesterRoad is, perhaps unsurprisingly, close to Gloucester Road... This street used to be called Hog Moore Lane (hogs were kept there). Apparently, it got its current name after Maria, Duchess of Gloucester and Edinburgh (1736-1807), had Gloucester Lodge built there.

#SloaneSquare is named after Sir Hans Sloane (1660–1753) who owned the land with some other trustees. He was a famous Anglo-Irish doctor, naturalist and collector, who is also (slightly bizarrely) credited with making “drinking chocolate” popular in the UK...

#BaronsCourt is possibly named after the Baronscourt estate in Tyrone. Sir William Palliser CB MP (1830-1882), a politician and inventor, built parts of the area and he was from Ireland (so that might explain the connection).

Regarding #ActonTown, #ActonCentral, #ActonMainline, are there more? Possibly... Anyway... The word “Acton” seems to mean “oak town” and is Anglo-Saxon... The first mention of #Acton was in 1181.

When it was opened, #EalingBroadway was initially just named 'Ealing'. It was renamed Ealing Broadway in 1875. You can find some history of the word “Ealing” in the tweet above. The “Broadway” bit just refers to the nearby road and basically means it’s quite a wide one...

The original #ChiswickPark was part of the Duke of Devonshire’s Chiswick House estate. “Chiswick” may originate from the Old English “ceswican”meaning "cheese farm”. Wikipedia claims the area of Duke's Meadows may have had an annual cheese fair until the 18th century.

The words #ShepherdsBush might have originated from common land being used as a resting point for shepherds on their way to Smithfield Market in London. Another theory is it was named after someone called “Sheppard” because, in 1635, there is a record of “Sheppard's Bush Green".

Wie vielen Menschen ist es eigentlich schon passiert, dass ihnen die Frontscheibe mit einem Steinschlag gerissen ist als sie ihre Klimaanlage eingeschaltet haben?
Update: Mittlerweile habe ich von einem Experten erfahren, dass die Temperaturunterschiede lange nicht so hoch sind, dass das Glas reißen sollte (im Vergleich zum Klassiker 'heißes Wasser auf gefrorene Scheibe kippen'). Er sieht die Gefahr daher als sehr unwahrscheinlich an.

Oh, diese Form der Telefon-Kaltaquise hatte ich schon lange nicht mehr. Eine #Carglass-Vertreterin wollte mir gerade eine Reparatur meiner Windschutzscheibe verkaufen.
Das Problem: Ich habe gar kein eigenes Auto (mehr) 🤷 Und selbst wenn, werde ich das bestimmt nicht so beauftragen.
