Carpenders Avenue, Carpenders Park Carpenders Park is very much an outer London suburb although it is situated outside the Greater London area. The development took place either side of the Second World War and the housing is typical of its time including a significant number of bungalows. The name is derived from a local manor house that was demolished in 1960 but has perhaps survived because it was given to the nearby railway station.

The Partridge, Carpenders Park Not, in all honesty, a particularly prepossessing looking pub externally, the Partridge offers cask ales, Sky Sports and pub games and is a short walk from Carpenders Park station.

Carpenders Park Station Carpenders Park is a stop on the London Overground route between Euston and Watford Junction. The pedestrian tunnel passes under the West Coast Main Line and gives access to the island platform on the 'DC lines'. It also connects Carpenders Park to the east of the railway and South Oxhey to the west - two outer suburbs with very different characters. The original station here (located to the north of the current one) was opened in 1914 to serve a nearby golf course in what was then a very rural area. The modern structure was opened in 1952. Note the bewildering number of safety signs visible in this view: 'No rollerblading, skating or cycling'; 'No smoking'; 'No alcohol'; 'CCTV cameras in operation'; 'No cycling'; 'Bicycle restrictions'; 'No trespassing' (three in all); 'Danger electricity'; and 'Danger overhead live wires'.

Mansion House Drive, Bentley Priory The original Priory housed a cell of Augustinian Friars believed to be founded by Ranulf de Glanville in 1170. He was the first Englishman to be killed in the Crusades. The Priory was dissolved in the 1530s. After 1766, the house was built on higher ground to the north of the site of the original Priory. In the late 18th century, Sir John Soane was brought in to extend and refurbish the house. At the end of the 19th century it was converted into a hotel but this failed financially and from 1908 until 1924 the building was a girls' boarding school. From 1926 until 2008 it was owned by the Royal Air Force and during the Battle of Britain it was the headquarters of Fighter Command. The Air Chief Marshal, Sir Hugh Dowding, was based here as was the Operations Room. In 2013, Bentley Priory Museum was opened, focusing on Bentley Priory's pivotal role during the Battle of Britain and Sir Hugh Dowding. as well as many others. In 1926, the Priory Estate was split into lots and sold. The Air Ministry bought the Mansion House and 40 acres of land, with the remaining 240 acres sold for building purposes and Green Belt land. Parts of it are now a very exclusive estate. This is Mansion House Drive which is followed on the way from The Common to the Museum.
