Reynolds Drive, EDGWARE, HA8 5PY

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.

The sign is situated opposite the entrance to the Underground station on a roundabout. 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. Queensbury station opened on 16th December 1934, two years after the neighbouring stations.

The branch 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.
