Hendon is a London urban area in the Borough of Barnet. Hendon was an ancient manor and parish in the county of Middlesex and a former borough; it has been part of Greater London since 1965.
Hendon falls almost entirely within the NW4 postcode, while the West Hendon part falls in NW9. Colindale to the north-west was once considered part of Hendon but is today separated by the M1 motorway.
The district is most famous for the London Aerodrome which later became RAF Hendon.
Hendon property is exceptionally varied. The sought-after Shirehall Estate is where many of the larger detached and semi-detached properties can be found, while the Sunny Hill area features spacious detached houses and period properties with considerable character.
Other parts of the Hendon property market offer good value for money, including the West Hendon estate, where typical properties include one and two bedroom flats. On Brampton Grove, one of Hendon’s most prestigious roads, you’ll find stunning modern detached mansion houses costing several million pounds. Turn-of-the-century semi-detached houses are also fairly common, particularly in the residential areas near Hendon Park.
These offer extensive living accommodation, pleasant bay windows, driveways and gardens, making them popular with families. Flats are plentiful and fall into two distinct categories. On the one hand, there are contemporary apartments with comfortable dimensions inside, and on the other, there are period properties forming part of a larger house.
Other types of property in Hendon include 1960s flats, which have held their value thanks to their desirable location, and Victorian terraces with red-brick exteriors and period features.
Hendon is served by Hendon Central Underground station on the Edgware Branch of the Northern line (Zone 3/4 on the London Underground network) and by Hendon railway station on National Rail's Thameslink service.
Also, numerous bus routes link Brent Cross Shopping Centre to the West End of London and the new Wembley Stadium.
Buses run as far south as Central London, as far east as Edmonton, as far west as Pinner and as far north as Watford Junction and Chipping Barnet.
There are a number of popular schools within the area such as Bell Lane Primary, Parkfield Primary School and Hendon Prep.
Secondary schools in the area include Hendon School, Hasmonean School and St Mary's and St John's CE School. Brampton College is a private sixth form college located in the area. Hendon is also home to Middlesex University.
There are two large public parks, Hendon Park in the south and Sunny Hill Park in the north; the latter is separated by the A41 trunk road from the Copthall complex and its adjacent fields.
What's more, Brent Cross Shopping Centre is just a few minutes’ drive away.
