Located at 222 Cricklewood Broadway NW2 3DS, this TE would appear to date from the 1930s when several such buildings were built in Greater London and would have met the approval of the art historian Nikolaus Pevsner. Besides Cricklewood, this TE also serves Dollis Hill, Dudden Hill, Mapesbury and Neasden nearby, and used to have DOLlis Hill and GLAdstone numbers until the late 1960s. It now has 0208-450 and 452 xxxx numbers, plus some Outer London allocated numbers. BT warning notices can be seen on this building whilst mobile phone aerials have been fitted on its roof.
