Upton Park

A place name invented to sell houses, and a station built to carry it.

The original name is much older and much plainer. It comes from a farmstead and hamlet of Upton at Upton Lane, in what was then West Ham parish, first recorded as Hupington in 1203 and thought to mean at the high lying farmstead. There was no park in it.

The Park arrived in the 1880s. The term Upton Park was applied to a housing estate developed east of West Ham Park, and the developers added the suffix for marketing reasons, then funded a new station bearing the estate's name. The district that grew around it is centred on Green Street, which forms the boundary between West Ham and East Ham, and Upton Park station is on the District and Hammersmith and City lines. Trading here is high-street and service-led, near the station and along Upton Lane running north.

The third meaning is the loudest. The Boleyn Ground was commonly known as Upton Park, and West Ham United relocated to the former Olympic Stadium in Stratford after the 2015-16 season. There is older sporting history too: Upton Park FC, founded in 1866, won the gold medal at the 1900 Summer Olympics football tournament. For a business, the effect of all this is that the two words on your sign point at a district, a station and a stadium, and a search cannot tell which you meant.

Upton Park industries

High-street trades in a district named after an estate.

A dentist on Upton Lane and a barber by the station both trade under a name coined to sell houses in the 1880s, and both compete with a stadium nickname for it.

See every industry we build for

A district, a station and a stadium, sharing two words between them.

Some of the traffic for your area name is people looking for a ground that was demolished. Ongoing SEO is monthly work on three agreed searches like these.

  1. 01
    “dentist upton park

    The district search, competing with a station of the same name and with a stadium that was known by it until the club left after the 2015-16 season.

  2. 02
    “takeaway upton lane

    The original road the farmstead name came from, which points at the district alone and at neither the station nor the ground.

  3. 03
    “barber near upton park station

    Explicitly the station, which is what most customers actually mean and what the site should confirm rather than leave open.

Examples only. The three searches are agreed with you around the work you want more of and what people near the station actually type. Nobody can promise a position, and we don't.

Questions

Questions from Upton Park businesses

Straight answers on price, the term, ownership and what SEO does and does not promise.

View all FAQs · All locations

Do you build websites for businesses in Upton Park?
Yes, for the shops, services and trades near the station and along Upton Lane. Everything is designed, built and managed remotely, so there is no office to visit.
Does the football association still affect our searches?
Yes. The Boleyn Ground was commonly called Upton Park, and although the club moved to Stratford after the 2015-16 season, a share of the traffic for the name is still about the ground. The site works around it by anchoring to Upton Lane and the station instead of relying on the district name.
Are you connected to West Ham United?
No, not in any way. The nickname attached to this area because the ground stood nearby, but there is no connection to PrimeStart, and we do not use club imagery, colours or crests on any site we build.
We already have a website we like. Can you just do the SEO?
No. SEO is not sold on its own any more — it is only available as part of Website + SEO, £349.99 a month in total, and that means building you a new PrimeStart website rather than adding search work onto the one you have now. A business on Upton Lane would be starting from the same place as everyone else here: a new site built around the trade, with the SEO work running from day one rather than retrofitted onto what already exists. Nobody can promise rankings, and we don't.
What does an Upton Park business website cost?
Website is £49.99 a month with a £0 upfront design fee, and it costs the same here as anywhere else. The first £49.99 is taken at signup, and there is an 18-month minimum term, £899.82 in total. Once that term is complete, the website is yours.
How does ongoing SEO work?
Website + SEO is £349.99 a month total, with the website included rather than charged on top. Each month we work on three agreed local searches, for example "dentist upton park" or "takeaway upton lane", alongside your Google Business Profile and the website itself. Nobody can promise rankings, and we don't.
Is this the same as the Green Street page?
No. The Green Street page is written about the street itself, Queen's Market and the boundary between East Ham and West Ham. This page is written about the Upton Park name: the 1203 farmstead, the 1880s estate, Upton Lane and the station the developers paid for.
