In 1936 Middlesex County Council acquired farmland to the south of Kenton, that had not already been built on by private developers, for the establishment of a park. It was named Northwick Park, which was already used for the adjacent Metropolitan Line station, after the Gloucestershire seat of the former landowners, the Churchill-Rushout family. In the 1960s a significant portion of the park's area was used to build Northwick Park hospital; most of the remaining land is devoted to playing fields.
