Pilgrims on their way from London to St Albans used Edgware as a resting place. By the time of Elizabeth I a substantial village had developed along the road from Edgware Bridge and up Station Road as far as the Anglican church of St Margaret's, with a population of about 120 people.

Last updated: 19 November, 2018
Oakleigh Road has had many names. It was called Avernstreet (1499), Hungerdown Lane (1823 - 1881) and Station Road (1863 - 1871). It became Oakleigh Road by 1873. Russell Lane is another road which has had many names, including Mare Lane (1522), Beldams Lane (1700s) and East Barnet Lane (1860s). A few houses were built along Station Road (now the southern end of Oakleigh Park Road) by the 1840s, but most of the land was farmland.
