About

Cricklewood is a residential area situated in the northwest of the Barnet borough. The ward is bounded by the A5 Edgware Road to the east and the Brent Cross flyover to the west, creating a distinct corridor. Its housing stock is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes, alongside numerous interwar semi-detached properties and several postwar apartment blocks. The local economy centres on the Broadway shopping parade, which serves daily needs.

The area is bisected by the busy A406 North Circular Road, a major transport artery that defines much of its character. A notable local landmark is the former Claremont Road gas holders, large industrial structures that are a remnant of the area's past. Cricklewood is served by Thameslink railway services, providing direct connections into central London. Open space is provided by Gladstone Park, which features sloping lawns and a former manor house garden.
