Lyncroft Gardens is a street in Fortune Green, NW6
Most of the land north of West End Green and around Fortune Green belonged to the Flitcroft estate. Apart from the Hillfield Road estate, the only building was on a small estate west of Finchley Road, owned in 1841 by Francis Lovel, where between 1870 and 1878 Charles Cannon, a dye merchant who lived at Kidderpore Hall, converted an old footpath into Cannon Hill, and West House and Wellesley House were built west of the junction of Finchley Road and West End Lane.
Cannon Stream which flowed down this hill, was also named after Charles Cannon and this stream flows under the line of Lyncroft Gardens.
