Chessington

Nowadays best-known as the home of London’s only theme park, Chessington is a heavily developed mid-20th-century suburb occupying most of the tongue of the borough that protrudes south beyond Hook. Everyone knows that this is where you will find Chessington World of Adventures – Greater London’s only full-scale theme park – and a place once called Burnt Stub became Hocus Pocus Hall. The resort’s owners put the hall on the market in September 2018 at an asking price of £7 million. However, it doesn’t appear to have sold because in January 2019 World of Adventures announced that the building would soon become home to ‘Room on the Broom — A Magical Journey’, “following the success of The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure.”
