Walking boots are to be recommended to deal with the mud which will be found at various locations in this section. The huge mandir replaces outgrown facilities in Golders Green: it combines traditional Indian design with such ecological features as solar energy panels and rainwater capture. Shree Swaminarayan Mandir, Kingsbury, seen There are bus stops here, with routes converging from Harrow, from Silver Jubilee Park Wembley, Hendon and Golders Green. From the pedestrian crossing at the top of Kingsbury 38.2 Road, and with your back to the mandir, walk eastwards on the left-hand pavement towards the bus stop. Take the fi rst street on the left (Mardale Drive), and ascend the street using its left-hand pavement, skirting a small copse which conceals an electricity substation to your right at the roundabout junction where Coniston Gardens comes in from the left. Continue ahead into Springfi eld Gardens on its left-hand pavement. After number 59, turn left into a narrow alleyway which doglegs right then left to come out onto Hillview Gardens: The summit of Brent on turn right to reach Wakemans Hill Avenue. Turn left and climb to Wakemans Hill Avenue, the top of the hill: this is the summit of the London Borough of looking west towards Brent, topping out at 92m above sea level. Harrow Hill Weaving the summit of Brent into the route was possibly the greatest challenge of all the thirty-two borough tops: the location does not fi t easily into either the inner or outer ring of summits. In the end, this 10km detour from South Kenton station to Northwick Park (which is only half a fi eld away) was needed. All other options proved much worse: the nearest link-points 38 – 2 London Summits Walk © 2017-21 IG Liddell on the inner route would have involved long treks from Kilburn and back to Kensal Green, and to incorporate Brent between Stanmore station and Moat Mount would have resulted in a route almost entirely on suburban streets. On the positive side, Barn Hill and Fryent Country Park merit a visit, and Gotforde’s Hill gives a view of what is to come. Continue over the hill to reach the junction with Buck Lane: Wakemans Hill Avenue becomes Highfi eld Avenue. at this point. Highfort Court, by Ernest Trobridge Here, the four corner plots are graced with blocks of fl ats which could well be described as “Fortress Kingsbury”. These fl ats date from the mid-1930s, and were designed by Ernest Trobridge, a noted local architect and a disciple of Emanuel Swedenborg (as was Augustus Clissold, encountered earlier on the London Summits Walk route in the park in Hackney which bears his name: Swedenborg is discussed in Section 2 of the London Summits Walk route narrative). These buildings look backwards in time, but they contain many innovative features of their day, as do other houses built in the vicinity to Trobridge’s designs, such as the tall fl at-fronted Montaire Court seen on the right as you descend Highfi eld Avenue, and nearby thatched houses built with green elm timbers which were adjusted as they sett led to provide Green Man Inn, Kingsbury strength and lightness. Descend Highfi eld Avenue, passing Trobridge’s Montaire Court on your right. At the bott om, turn left onto Roe Green (street), with the park of that name straight ahead. Follow Roe Green down to Kingsbury Road: on the corner block of shops here, there is a grocery and a café, both Romanian at the time of writing. Cross Kingsbury 38.3 Road and join Slough Lane opposite. Be © 2017-21 IG Liddell London Summits Walk 38 – 3 careful not to drift rightwards into Old Kenton Lane, but bear round to the left, keeping the vast Green Man pub to your right. Beyond the pub on your right, there is a boxy complex of modern brick-built fl ats: squeeze to the right of the fi rst house down an alleyway. After 200m, the alleyway opens out into Fryent Country Park. Do not take the clear path which bears off half-left (that is, to the south-west) — that will just lead you back to the top of Gotforde’s Hill — but instead, keep straight ahead on level ground to a gap, then continue westwards, still on level ground, with the hedge on your right-hand side. You will reach a complex path junction with an adit into Valley Drive (which might provide a drier alternative west towards Fryent Way after, or during, heavy rain). Bearing slightly left, walk along the right-hand edge of the fi eld, past the ends of back gardens fortifi ed by thick briars and brambles to emerge onto Fryent Way through a narrow gap at the end of the roadside berm. There is a refuge to the right, nearer Valley Drive. Cross Fryent Way at the lay-by, and go ahead onto a 38.4 footpath. About 150m beyond Fryent Way, take the footbridge on the left, then turn immediately right to make for a footbridge over the Jubilee Line. On the far side of the footbridge, descend to school gates at a vehicle turning circle. Turn left down the side of the turning area (with your back to the school gates), then go to the right to follow the street (Shakespeare Drive) round to the left . Follow Shakespeare Drive out to its end at The Mall, where turn left. Continue ahead. The Mall becomes Preston Hill: 38.5 climb the hill which gives its name to the street, passing a large care home on your left, to reach a roundabout at the top. Buses run along The Mall and up Preston Hill to Preston Road station; at the roundabout, the station lies about 500m to the left. Go straight across and continue westwards down Woodcock Hill, keeping to the right-hand pavement. At the foot of the hill, the street bends right, and you will reach the entrance, on the left, to the John Billam sports ground. Cross to the left-hand pavement here, but do not 38.6 enter the sports ground: rather, continue straight ahead, following the left-hand pavement past the triangle where Woodcock Hill sweeps up to the right. You are now in Draycott Avenue. Take Windermere Avenue to the left (yes, it leads to the Windermere pub which you passed at South Kenton), passing 38 – 4 London Summits Walk © 2017-21 IG Liddell beneath the Metropolitan Line and Chiltern Railways tracks. Turn right at the roundabout into Lulworth Avenue, then left into Conway Gardens. At the far end of this street, take a footbridge over the tracks of the West Coast Main Line, the Overground, and the Bakerloo Line. Cross Northwick Park, using a few trees in the middle as a guide, between a rugby pitch on your left and a cricket pitch on your right, to reach the perimeter path on the far side of the Northwick Park, bounded by the railway tracks park: behind the bushes which border this path, there is a small housing estate, and the bulkier forms of St Mark’s and Northwick Park hospitals. The arrival at Northwick Park’s western perimeter path marks the end of this section of the London Summits Walk route. Here, you are a mere 700m from South Kenton station, across the fi eld to the south. This would allow you to undertake a circular route of about 11km (sections 37 and 38 of the London Summits Walk route) taking in the Brent summit, or would give you access from this point to the Bakerloo Line or Overground services. Some 500m in the other direction (to the right as you cross the park) lies Northwick Park station, off ering Metropolitan Line services to Amersham, Chesham, Watford and Uxbridge, and to central London.

    Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.
