Corner of Olive Road and St Michaels Road, London NW2
St Michaels Road is on the left, Olive Road on the right.
To the left of the modern name sign for St Michaels Road is an older sign embossed on the wall. It shows ST MICHAELS ROAD N.W. which dates it to the time before numbers were added to postal districts.
In 1846, Sir Rowland Hill's system of dividing the capital into 10 separate postal districts, based on compass points, was introduced for all addresses within a circle of 12 miles radius from central London. A refinement introduced during World War I was the introduction of sub-districts which were given a serial number, such as NW2.

Cricklewood Pumping Station
Viewed from a fence at the edge of St Michaels Road.
Cricklewood Pumping Station was built in 1905 to supply water to London's north west suburbs at a time when most of the local residents obtained their water from rainwater cisterns or ponds. Although not in use since the station converted from steam power to electricity in the late 1950s, the 135 feet (41m) tall chimney remains a distinctive local landmark.
