Grahame Park was built by the GLC in the 1970s and is the London Borough of Barnet's largest housing estate with 1,777 homes. The planning of the estate has isolated it from outside areas, but redevelopment plans have been drawn up to regenerate the area by reorientating the estate and constructing 3,000 more homes over the next 15 years, it says here http://www.barnet.gov.uk/regeneration-grahame-park However the social problems are many and the licence of the Hind and Hart public house, visible on the left, was suspended in February 2007 by the local council after the police called for a review, citing a string of incidents at the pub involving firearms, violence, drug dealing, theft and underage drinking.
