Knole NT is a country house and former archbishop's palace situated within Knole Park, a 1,000-acre park located immediately to the south-east of Sevenoaks in west Kent. The house apparently ranks in the top five of England's largest houses, under any measure used, occupying a total of four acres.The current house dates back to the mid-15th century, with major additions in the 16th and, particularly, the early 17th centuries. Its grade I listing reflects its mix of late-medieval to Stuart structures and particularly its central façade and state rooms. In 2019 an extensive conservation project, "Inspired by Knole", was completed to restore and develop the structures of the buildings and thus help to conserve its important collections. The surrounding deer park has also survived with varying degrees of management in the 400 years since 1600.

Hillingdon (Distrito londinense)
Hillingdon es un distrito del Gran Londres localizado en el extremo oeste del mismo, en el área conocida como Londres exterior, Inglaterra. Fue creado por el Acta del Gobierno de Londres de 1963, que entró en vigor el 1 de abril de 1965. Se formó a partir de los distritos de Hayes and Harlington, Ruislip-Northwood, Uxbridge, y Yiewsley and West Drayton en el histórico condado de Middlesex. Hoy, Hillingdon alberga el aeropuerto de Heathrow y la Universidad Brunel, y es el segundo municipio en extensión de Londres. El Hillingdon Council gobierna el municipio, con sede en el Centro Cívico de Uxbridge. Con propósitos administrativos, el municipio se divide en North y South Hillingdon. La vinculación del sur con la industria ha disminuido desde los años 1980 para ser reemplazada por una población suburbana preponderantemente residencial; el norte ha permanecido constantemente como área suburbana residencial. Las zonas residenciales del municipio se ampliaron con la extensión del Ferrocarril Metropolitano desde Harrow on the Hill a Uxbridge a principios de los años 1900 y el gradual establecimiento de paradas a lo largo de la línea, pasando a ser conocida como "Metro-land".

Watford ) is a town and borough in Hertfordshire, England, 15 miles northwest of central London. It is situated on the River Colne, and initially developed as a small market town until the Grand Junction Canal encouraged the construction of paper-making mills, print works, and breweries. While industry has declined in Watford, its location near to London and to good transport links has attracted several companies to site their headquarters in the town. It contains Cassiobury Park, a public park that was once the manor estate of the Earls of Essex, and Watford Football Club, a professional team who in the 2020/21 season play in the Championship after being relegated following the 2019/20 season from the Premier League – the highest level of English football. The town developed on the River Colne on land belonging to St Albans Abbey until the 16th century. During the 12th century a charter was granted allowing a market, and the building of St Mary's Church began. The town grew partly due to travellers going to Berkhamsted Castle and the royal palace at Kings Langley. A mansion was built at Cassiobury in the 16th century. This was partly rebuilt in the 17th century and another country house was built at The Grove. The Grand Junction Canal in 1798 and the London and Birmingham Railway in 1837 resulted in Watford's rapid growth, with paper-making mills such as John Dickinson at Croxley, influencing the development of printing in the town. Two brewers, Benskins and Sedgwicks, amalgamated and flourished in the town until their closure in the late 20th century. Hertfordshire County Council designates Watford to be a major sub-regional centre. Several head offices are based in Watford. Both the 2006 World Golf Championship and the 2013 Bilderberg Conference took place at The Grove.Watford became an urban district under the Local Government Act 1894 and a municipal borough by grant of a charter in 1922. The borough, which had 90,301 inhabitants at the time of the 2011 census, is separated from Greater London to the south by the parish of Watford Rural in the Three Rivers District. Watford Borough Council is the local authority with the Mayor of Watford as its head – one of only 18 directly elected mayors in England and Wales. Watford elects one MP for the Watford constituency. Prior to the establishment of this constituency in 1885, the area was part of the three-seat constituency of Hertfordshire.
