Kingsland, London history

Origins

Kingsland derives its name from being the hunting grounds of a Tudor royal residence at Newington Green – hence King’s Lands. The area was still heavily forested as part of a forest stretching from Shoreditch to Enfield Chase. Deforestation occurred quickly as the demands of the nearby City took wood for building and firewood, and the cleared land was quarried for brick clay.

Disappearing district

Dalston was previously the name for a less important settlement situated further east, at the junction of Dalston Lane and Cecilia Road. The North London Railway was opened in 1865, and adopted Dalston Junction as the name of the junction and new station. The name of Kingsland is still seen in street and station names, but the district no longer appears on road signs as a destination.
