The area of Oakwood derives its name from Oakwood Park which opened in 1927.

Oakwood Park, which Southgate Council had purchased, was named after Oak Lodge, which stood in the grounds.

The arrival at Oakwood of the Piccadilly line resulted in both the construction of the grade II* listed Oakwood station and the start of a building boom. Builders Laing and George Reed bought much of the surrounding land for development and estates began to develop. Prior to development, the only major building in the area had been South Lodge - one of the four lodges of Enfield Chase.

Oakwood station opened on 13 March 1933 as part of the Piccadilly line extension, the original name being Enfield West. The station served as the line’s terminus for a brief period before Cockfosters station was opened.

Polygon Buildings
Following the demolition of the Polygon, and prior to the construction of Oakshott Court in 1974, 4 tenement type blocks of flats were built on the site at Clarendon Sq/Phoenix Rd called Polygon Buildings. These were primarily for people working for the Midland Railway and subsequently British Rail. My family lived for 5 years in Block C in the 1950s. It seems that very few photos exist of these buildings.

Road construction and houses completed
New Charleville Circus road layout shown on Stanford’s Library Map Of London And Its Suburbs 1879 with access via West Hill only.

Plans showing street numbering were recorded in 1888 so we can concluded the houses in Charleville Circus were built by this date.

War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street
Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there.
