Welcome to Queensbury

Queensbury was originally Little Stanmore, but with the arrival of the railway a new name was needed to avoid confusion with Stanmore, and a competition was held. The winner simply used the alternative to the adjacent Kingsbury and there it was. It is divided between Brent and Harrow boroughs which make half a suburb of Edgware (HA8) and half Stanmore (HA7).
