West Hampstead history
West End hamlet
West End was a freehold estate belonging to Kilburn Priory. It was so called because it was at the west end of another, larger estate. West End Lane (named as such by 1644) is still bent at a right-angle at the north and south ends.
West Hampstead
West Hampstead was the name adopted by Metropolitan & St. John’s Wood for its station on West End Lane. The period of greatest development for the area was the 15 years from the opening of that station, with estates on the west side of the road being turned from farmland to housing estates.
