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).

Autumn leaves along Beverley Drive
The name of Queensbury was the winner of a competition run by a Golders Green estate agent (Percy H Edwards) to come up with a title for the new district to the north of Kingsbury. Traffic on the railway grew only slowly, possibly because the Metropolitan charged main line fares. People found it cheaper to go to Edgware by bus and take the Hampstead Tube. Queensbury was the most rapidly- developed estate in north-west London. The landscape was largely flat and devoid of natural features.

Beverley Drive, Queensbury
When the station was built on the line going to Stanmore there was no development yet in the area and it didn't have a name so a competition was held, and Queensbury was chosen simply as it bordered Kingsbury.
