Burnt Oak (1932)
The map shows two now-defunct airfields.
London Aerodrome (Hendon Aerodrome) became RAF Hendon before closing in the 1950s. The area became Grahame Park.
Stag Lane was a private aerodrome between 1915 and 1933, later sold for housing development.

My central London London Underground video walks are quite popular. Out in the sticks popularity is understandably bit more niche. But Hendon Central to Brent Cross - "Lonely glory amidst fields" - saw me analyse a couple of incredible photos of a very rural Hendon Central

Orme’s Green

Stockwell station (1930)
Policeman on duty. I had to learn those police signals in the Highway Code and (in theory) could have been quizzed on them during the driving test. I’m sure they don’t exist now in the same way

The all-female ‘40 Elephants’ gang were based at the Elephant & Castle. They flourished between the 1870s and 1950s.
The women would often arrive in the West End in chauffeur-driven vehicles. They would take turns shoplifting and being lookout/distracters.

Regent’s Park was laid out between 1818 and 1835.
This 1820s map shows it as a ’work in progress’.
The Waterloo monument didn’t turn out to be the major feature that had been proposed.
The park overtook the planned streets around Cumberland Market.
