Edgware
Edgware is a suburb of North London situated 9.7 miles
(15.6 km) north-west of Charing Cross. Most of Edgware
is in the London Borough of Barnet, but the western
part is in the London Borough of Harrow and the Queensbury
area is in the London Borough of Brent. The three boroughs
meet at the junction of Burnt Oak Broadway and The Highlands.
It
is principally a shopping and residential area and is
known by those who regularly use the London Underground
as being one of the northern termini of the Northern
Line. It has a bus garage, a shopping centre called
The Mall, a library, a large hospital, Edgware Community
Hospital, and two streams, Edgware Brook and Deans Brook,
which are tributaries of the Silk Stream, which in turn
merges with the River Brent at the Welsh Harp (Brent
Reservoir). Edgware is currently outside the London
postal district and instead forms a separate post town
in the HA postcode area.
