Crundale Avenue
Taken from the bend in Crundale Avenue, a hazard for speeding cars.
1930s houses line its western side (left of the photo) and older Tudorbethan houses its eastern (right of the photo). The western side sits at lower ground level and is more prone to flooding.

These are typical art deco 1930s semi-detached, although none of the original Crittall windows are left, and one is stone clad.

Have you been?
One of the few remaining local toilets was converted to a tardis some years ago, while as far as I know the free toilet in adjacent Kingsbury Station (and most others in tube stations) have been closed.

Tudorbethan in Kingsbury
This is Metro-land and John Betjeman would doubtless have known this area. This style of housing is known as 'Tudorbethan'.
In the 1930s the Metropolitan Estates Company informed prospective buyers in Kingsbury that "Peace and quiet prevail and the stretches of country around offer plenty of opportunity for invigorating exercise to those who are inclined to walking and cycling." One developer even called Kingsbury "the Queen of north-west London suburbs". By the end of the 1930s the station at Kingsbury and its flanking shops were swamped by a huge length of shopping arcades, and there were even two cinemas.
