London
- Edgware High Street
London - Edgware High Street. 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 Stag Lane. 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.
