Teddington is our corner of South West London (or Middlesex, depends who you ask) and is a great place to live.

However it is not the only place called Teddington in the world!

We have been able to find four other Teddingtons across the globe.

So here is where they all are and a little bit about them.

Teddington, Gloucestershire

This is probably the other Teddington you've actually heard of.

This small village has a population of just under 400.

The village dates way back to the 8th Century and was the site of an American military base in World War Two - a bit like Bushy Park!

Famous heavyweight boxer Joe Lewis would also fight an exhibition match at the base.

Glenn Miller - who famously disappeared in his plane during the war - also visited the village just before his disappearance.

Teddington, New Zealand

Located on the outskirts of the largest city Christchurch there is not much of note in this settlement.

It is a very small community on the Banks Peninsula at the head of Lyttelton Harbour. It sits on the junction of the road to Gebbies Pass and the road from Purau to Christchurch.

It dates back to the early settlers of Christchurch but is now reduced to a pub and a restored working blacksmith's forge.

Teddington, Queensland, Australia

This is another very small settlement - this time in North Eastern Australia.

Just 237 people live in this Teddington.

Compare this to the 10,000 plus that live in our Teddington!

Teddington Park, Canada

Ok slightly cheating with the name but this Teddington is a neighbourhood of Toronto.

The area is described as affluent with a Liberal member of parliament - which does sound pretty familiar.

Teddington Park was mostly farmland before the 1930s.

So there you have it, every place on earth called Teddington
