After our day in Lewisham, we needed to decompress, so we stopped off in Laleham on our way back home to Emsworth. Laleham is a picturesque village on the River Thames, in the Borough of Spelthorne, about 17 miles west of central London. Laleham is downriver from Staines-upon-Thames, where our Lou Lou is from. Louise spent a lot of time in Laleham, when she was growing up. The poet Matthew Arnold (Louise’s school was named after him) lived here. The Church of England parish church of All Saints dates from the 12th century. The ‘Turks Head’ pub is where Louise celebrated her 18th Birthday…3 years in a row! The ‘Turks Head’ recommended that we have dinner at the ‘Three Horseshoes’ pub around the corner. An excellent, much needed and appreciated recommendation.
