Imber Court. Metropolitan Police Training College. Originally known as Immeworth and King John was entertained here in 1212. Imworth was a distinct manor by 1223 and, having passed through a number of owners it was passed to the Crown in the 1540s and then granted to various others including Speaker Onslow. In 1899 it was sold. Then became a race course. The mounted police came from the old Remount Depot in Kensington and opened a Training Establishment here where the Mounted Branch was trained. There is also a small museum. In 1944 a detachment of the Welsh Guards stationed here were subject to an attack by a V2 rocket. Rebuilt. The Metropolitan Police sports ground here hosts many sporting events.
