Area guide

Collier Row is a relatively small town which is surrounded on most sides by parks and farmland – making it desirable for those seeking separation from the city without losing their direct connection to London. The name Collier Row is derived from the former charcoal burners who occupied the area and were known as “colliers”, with their history embedded in the very fabric of the town.

In addition to the parks which offer a plethora of activities for young people and adults to get involved in, Collier Row has a large shopping centre in the heart of the town, and it plays host to a number of restaurants and eateries which serve the local residents and keep the town thriving, as well as annual and temporary attractions.
