Old sign at the end of St Davids Drive, Edgware
This is a lesson for sign detectives. Firstly, it is not a road sign as they do not apply to persons but pedestrians when not referring to vehicles. It appears to be in the style of pre-Worboys from a distance, but being confirmed by the wording as privately made (this is the private rear entrance to the playing fields used for football training, and now The Hive, temporary home of Barnet FC) the letters are a random font chosen by the signmakers, stuck on, and proven unofficial as the three bars on the capital E are equal, while pre-Worboys had a shorter one in the middle. The R is also totally different with a long tail, and may well have been made as recently as the 80s and is just badly weathered and badly made.

Edgware: The Hive Stadium, Barnet FC
The Hive has been the home ground of Barnet Football Club, the Bees, since 2013. The ground capacity depends on what source one is looking at, but the club website gives 5,356 seated plus 1,000 standing. In the current 2018-2019 season the club are playing in the Vanarama National League and appear to be attracting attendances of between 1,100 and 1,400 for League games.
The whole Hive site was once the Prince Edward Playing Field, owned by the London Borough of Camden.

Chandos Recreation Ground
A name linked with the history of the area. In the 18th century nearby Canons Park was the home of James Brydges, Duke of Chandos. The name can be traced back to a village called Candos in Normandy.
The title ceased to exist in 1789 when the last Duke of Chandos died with no heir.
