Carew Road leads off Eastbury Road, running through to Watford Road. The name comes from F Murray Maxwell Hallowell Carew who bought land in Northwood following the arrival of the Metropolitan Railway in 1887 and then sold off building plots, naming some of the roads after himself. The style of street name sign on a single tall post is relatively unusual in the UK although it has been favoured by some local authorities over the years. The school sign refers to St Helen's School, out of shot to the right, an independent girls' school for pupils aged 3-18.
