Flower Delivery to the Royal British Legion Village with Clare Florist

The Royal British Legion Village is located just south of Aylesford along the A20 London Road in Kent. A thriving community that represents the finest who served in the UK, the Royal British Legion Village stands as a remarkable example of growth, prosperity, and a wonderful spirit that has allowed it to grow considerably over the years.

The village itself was founded shortly after the First World War and the intention was to have a place where injured soldiers could live and be treated in comfort after being discharged. The effects of the First World War were tremendous on Great Britain and taking care of her wounded soldiers was the number one priority for this community. The location was selected because it was close to Preston Hall hospital where many of the soldiers were initially treated.

Before its founding, the village itself was a small farming community that had existed for some time under the name The Preston Hall Colony. Unremarkable in its history, it was this sleepy farming community that because of its location became the Royal British Legion Village.

In 1921, the British Legion was founded and the village became one of its first branches. By 1925, it became known as the Royal British Legion Village and slowly grew over the years in its treatment of the soldiers who had served during the First World War.

Over the years, the village has grown considerably and provides a number of services for the disabled veterans that live in the region. There are sheltered houses, independent living units, and nursing homes that offer shelter, comfort, and treatment to the soldiers who live there. In addition, there are a number of businesses as well as social activities that cater to the needs of the soldiers.

By 1972, Poppy Appeal’s headquarters was moved to the village and now it has become one of the main locations for the activities of the village for its residents. In addition, there is now an industrial complex that is home to the Royal British Legion industries which creates public signs for the roadways all across the UK.

Today, the Royal British Legion Village has become the pride of the region thanks the dedication of its residents who have made the most of the opportunities that life offers and serves as an inspiration to all of the UK.
