Brentford

Brentford is a suburb of London in the London Borough of Hounslow at the confluence of the River Thames in Brent. It is located in the west of London and is approximately 12.9 km from Charing Cross.

Today, however, it does not belong to the London Borough of Brent, but to the municipality of Hounslow.

History

The colonization of Brent dated still from pre-Roman times and thus even from before the foundation of London. Many tools from pre-Roman period have been excavated in Brent. Leave the quality and frequency of the tools found suggest that Brentford was a meeting place for pre-Roman peoples who have there probably held customs and ceremonies.

It is also assumed that the Thames could be easily crossed earlier in Brentford and Gaius Julius Caesar had crossed the Thames at this point during the invasion of Britain.

By 1888 Brentford was still an independent place ( Middlesex ) outside the city.

1889, the resident of the district football club Brentford FC was founded.
