Hidden History of London

London's Hidden History
Galleons Reach

No need to leave your comfortable seat to see Stephen Timms', MP, favourite piece of hidden history. The strange looking building standing isolated in a field by the bridge is the old Galleons Hotel. Now sadly lying empty.

It was built late in the last century to accommodate travellers departing and arriving on the ocean going liners that once sailed from Galleons Reach. Rudyard Kipling stayed here on his way to work in India; do you like Kipling or have you never Kippled!

Good news there is a preservation order on the building and plans are afoot for the local community to make use of it.

The 1987 film Full Metal Jacket was filmed partly at Galleons Reach and partly around Beckton.

Customer Testimonials

Many thanks - the purple glitter Tangle Teezer arrived safely first thing this morning. Lovely. What a delight to receive such first class service - and what a pleasure it was talking to you. You clearly value your customers, taking time and trouble to find out just what they want. I really do appreciate that. And the sweeties - what a nice touch! And my favourites too!
Thank you once again for your helpful and extremely courteous service. Yours, Aileen, Huddersfield

Thanks for the Tangle Teezers! My 2 girls love the bright orange and are finally brushing their own hair! Fantastic service - delivered within 24 hours of ordering. Thank you very much! Bev, Gosfield

I placed my order for Tangle Teezer on Saturday and it was here on Tuesday, which is great service. The web site was easy to use and the order quick to process. The product was packaged nicely and looked good. I cant comment on the product, as these are Christmas presents. Kind Regards Avril Main, Bath
