The Hyde

The Hyde, often considered a hidden gem in North West London, offers a mix of historical and modern residential options. The area is predominantly comprised of 20th-century houses, including a notable collection of semi-detached and terraced homes built in the 1930s. These properties typically feature the distinctive red brick construction that was common in that era, often complemented by charming front gardens and bay windows.

Kingsbury

Kingsbury presents a varied architectural landscape that mirrors its rich history and gradual development. The area boasts an array of building styles ranging from large detached houses from the 1920s and 1930s to more compact post-war housing. Construction techniques vary, with older properties often featuring wattle and daub and timber frames, while later developments used more modern brick and block construction methods. Kingsbury's evolution from a rural village to a bustling urban suburb is well reflected in its diverse housing stock.

Colindale

Primarily known for its transformation in the 20th century, Colindale has seen extensive development over recent decades, particularly with the advent of new apartment complexes that cater to professionals and commuters. These modern developments are characterized by the use of glass, steel, and concrete, providing a contemporary contrast to the traditional brick buildings of the earlier 20th century. Notably, the Beaufort Park development exemplifies modern construction techniques, including energy-efficient designs and sustainable building practices.
