Shakespeare Drive, HARROW, HA3 9TR

This section of line was opened in 1932 as the Stanmore branch of the Metropolitan Railway. With the expansion and rearrangement of the Underground, over the years services were transferred to the Bakerloo Line and then to the new Jubilee Line in 1979.

Leading to Shakespeare Drive, it also forms the border between Wembley Park and Kenton.

This footbridge leads from Fryent Country Park through to Skakespeare Drive. The branch between Wembley Park and Stanmore was opened by the Metropolitan Railway in 1932. It was much harder to construct than anticipated and amongst the heavy works was the diversion of the Wealdstone Brook. It became part of the Bakerloo Line in 1939 when that line was extended from Baker Street to Finchley Road, from there taking over the Metropolitan's old slow tracks to Wembley Park before the Bakerloo continued to Stanmore. In 1979 it became part of the Jubilee Line to Charing Cross, and in 1999 was linked to Stratford by the Jubilee Line Extension.

The park consists of several mown fields with unmanaged hedges and a few small woodland areas. This is a field corner with an area of woodland on the right, somewhat larger than some maps suggest.

Looking across a small recreation ground with no apparent name.

A network of paths in small fields of grass with some woodland.

Fryent Country Park has been kept to show how much of Middlesex looked before the suburban expansion of London in the 1920s and 1930s. There are 23 hay meadows and seven miles of hedgerows, four woods and 20 ponds. The Jubilee Line is to the left, beyond the wire fence.
