Homes in Hendon
Hendon is largely a 1920s and 1930s suburb that grew with the extension of the Northern line to Hendon Central. Semi-detached and detached interwar houses dominate, with Edwardian homes in the older village area near St Mary's Church and post-war council estates around West Hendon and Burnt Oak, including the interwar Watling Estate.
Colindale and the land around Brent Cross have seen some of the biggest new-build programmes in north London, with high-density apartment schemes replacing the old RAF and hospital sites. The Welsh Harp reservoir and the River Brent run through the area, creating localised flood risk. Middlesex University's campus also means some houses near Hendon Central are let as student shared homes.
Areas we cover include Hendon Central, Brent Cross, Colindale, West Hendon, Burnt Oak.
