Hendon

Written on 23 November 2018.

Located about seven miles to the north west of London, Hendon was, until the mid-nineteenth century, primarily an area of woodland and small farms. Its urbanisation began with the coming of the railway in 1868; further development followed after 1923 when Hendon Central Station opened as part of the London Underground.
