This is Stone Grove in Edgware which is part of the A5 from London to Holyhead. The fact that the A5 runs almost dead straight from Marble Arch through Kilburn and Cricklewood to beyond Edgware makes it obvious it is following a Roman road - in this case Watling Street, which ran from Canterbury through London to Wroxeter.
