Lawns Court, HA9

Lawns Court in Wembley is six moderne-style low rise apartment blocks. There are 50 flats in total, designed by Welch, Lander & Day for the Haymills company.

Each block has lawns in front and both communal and private gardens behind. The top floor flats have roof terraces, which originally, when opened in 1933, had pergolas.

It succeeded the Holland & Holland shooting club on the site. Harris Holland, its founder, was a keen shot and a live pigeon shooter. Harris Holland frequented gun clubs such as the Hornsey Wood Tavern and the Hurlingham Club in Fulham. Harris made excellent connections amongst their wealthy members, supplying shooters with their live pigeon guns and accessories.

Holland opened a shooting club here in 1913 but moved again in 1930 to Northwood.
