Oakleigh Park North
Oakleigh Park is a name invented by the Whetstone Freehold Estate Company who acquired land here in 1869. It intended to establish a 'superior suburb' and the name was firmly established when the nearby railway station was so named in 1873. Certainly the houses here on Oakleigh Park North are of the superior sort, although in practice much of the area was built up after the estate had been sold.

Oakleigh Park South
Oakleigh Park is a name invented by a Victorian development company for this area to the east of Whetstone. It has survived largely because the Great Northern Railway used the name for its local station (rather than plain 'Whetstone' as originally intended). The houses here where Oakleigh Avenue meets Oakleigh Park South by a small triangular green are large detached properties.

Oakleigh Park
Oakleigh Park South, on the left, and Oakleigh Avenue go their separate ways. Because of the acute nature of the junction, Oakleigh Avenue's road name is displayed at rightangles to the traffic on Oakleigh Park South. The yellow sign reminds drivers of the 30mph speed limit. A modern pillarbox is sited on the v of the junction.

Large monkey puzzle tree, Chandos Avenue, Whetstone
As old as the houses, I suspect, and definitely taller. The house was built around 1920.
