Cheyneys Avenue, EDGWARE, HA8 6SD

London Underground Jubilee Line train between Canons Park station and the terminus at Stanmore.

Viewed through the northern entrance gates to The George V Memorial Garden Image the Temple dates from the early 1800s and is a listed structure that originally had a palm house at its front. After suffering vandalism and a fire it has recently been completely refurbished by Harrow Council, the remedial works having been funded by part of a £1 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to the overall restoration of Canons Park.

Cheyneys Avenue takes a 90 degree turn to the right with part of Canons Park on the left and the railway behind the houses.

Four clumps of pampas grass (cortaderia selloana) stand at the corners of the pond at the centre of the garden, which was created inside the walls of the former kitchen garden of the estate when management of Canons Park passed to the local authority in 1937. The garden was set out to accord with the Golden Ratio whereby the ratio between the sum of two quantities and the larger one is the same as the ratio between the larger one and the smaller one. The golden ratio is approximately 1.618.

Semi-detached houses line the eastern side of Cheyneys Avenue. Not unusually nowadays, many of the front gardens have been paved over as car parks.

A right of way existed here long before the railway came or the park was opened to the public, hence the existence of the footbridge today. This is between Canons Park and Stanmore stations. As can be seen the decking of the footbridge is a lot higher than the roof of a standard Jubilee Line train, suggesting that rolling stock with higher roofs was used at one time, or occasionally now, or might be in the future.

Cloyster Wood isn't a clump of trees, it's the name of the road on the left. It meets Cheyneys Avenue at this sort of half roundabout.
