Golders Green
Area of Barnet in London, England
About
Golders Green is a suburb in the London Borough of Barnet in north West London, 5.6 miles (9 km) northwest of Charing Cross. Its historical origins lie in a medieval small suburban linear settlement that was sited near a farm and public grazing area green. The bulk of Golders Green forms a late Victorian/early Edwardian suburb centered on a commercial crossroads, the rest being of a later build.
It was founded as a medieval hamlet in the large parish of Hendon, Middlesex. The parish was superseded by Hendon Urban District in 1894 and by the Municipal Borough of Hendon in 1932, abolished in 1965. In the early 20th century, it grew rapidly in response to the opening of a tube station of the London Underground, adjacent to the Golders Green Hippodrome, which was home to the BBC Concert Orchestra for many years. The area has a wide variety of housing and a busy main shopping street, Golders Green Road.
