Seven Kings is a district of Ilford in north-eastern Greater London, England. It is part of the London Borough of Redbridge and forms part of the Ilford post town. Seven Kings Park is a large open space containing sports facilities such as tennis courts,a sports ground, and a bandstand; there is also Westwood Park, a smaller open space and playground in Meads Lane. It also borders the districts of Ilford and Goodmayes. ==History== The earliest recorded use of the name is as ''Sevekyngg'' or ''Sevekyngges'' in 1285, meaning 'settlement of the family or followers of a man called Seofoca'.〔Mills, A., ''Oxford Dictionary of London Place Names'', (2001)〕 Seven Kings has not historically formed a parish or other division; instead it was part of the ancient parish of Ilford in the Becontree hundred of the county of Essex,〔(Vision of Britain ) - Ilford parish ((historic map ))〕 which formed from 1894 the Ilford Urban District (later municipal borough).〔(Vision of Britain ) - Ilford UD/MB〕 Seven Kings is situated next to the ancient Roman road between London and Colchester and was rapidly developed during the 19th century following construction of the Great Eastern Main Line railway. In 1965 the Ilford parish and municipal borough were abolished by the London Government Act 1963, and the area of Essex including Seven Kings has since formed part of Greater London.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seven Kings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
