The LT Area 4: North West London

The fourth volume in our LT Area books looks at London Transport bus operations in the former LT Central Area of North West London Jim Blake has combed his extensive archives to provide fresh material, since the vast majority of the 370 or so photographs included herein have not been published before. Most of the pictures were taken between 1967, at the dawn of the disastrous 'Reshaping' era, and 1984, when London Transport was destroyed by the Thatcher regime. However, there are also some more recent scenes, to give a flavour of how the area covered has changed subsequently. By 'North West London', we mean the area between the Harrow Road and the Finchley Road as far north as Henley's corner, embracing the London NW postcoded areas outwards from Camden Town and St. Marylebone and such areas as Harrow, Edgware and Mill Hill and places beyond the former Greater London Council boundary served by red buses, for example Borehamwood, Bushey and Watford.
