South Oxhey: Garage block off Oxhey Drive
Blocks of garages built for residents in flats and houses with no space for a garage are an often overlooked and in many cases neglected feature of the urban landscape. This block though certainly appears to be well-maintained.

South Oxhey: St Andrew's Road shops
St Andrew's Road is a wide pedestrian precinct containing the main shops in South Oxhey. Since retail units tend to change ownership and use over time, for the record in June 2009, the occupiers were, left to right, Jacksons, nameless, the Gold Centre, Wimpy, Cheapjacks, Taylor Convenience Store, the late lamented Woolworths, and Homecraft.

Forfar House, South Oxhey
Forfar House is an apartment block which, together with two similar blocks, overlooks a green off Oxhey Drive. Part of Filton House can be seen in this picture. The estate at South Oxhey was developed by the then London County Council (LCC) in the early 1950s, one of a number built on the fringes of London to help relieve overcrowding in the inner city area. It was not actually within the LCC's area and is still within the modern boundaries of Hertfordshire today. In 1980 the Greater London Council (which had absorbed the LCC) passed the ownership and management of the estate to Three Rivers District Council. Today, a large proportion of the housing stock is privately owned and the remaining social housing has been transferred to a housing association.
