Queens Road, NW4
Hendon Central
Queens Road was formerly known as Butcher’s Lane.

As Butcher’s Lane, Hendon was connected to its satellite settlement of The Burroughs. It was renamed in 1889 to celebrate the recent Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

Queens Road was largely built up once Hendon Central station opened in the mid 1920s. At the same time of the Northern Line extension, Watford Way was laid out over a section of Queens Road north of the new station.
