Hendon War Memorial

Hendon War Memorial is a stone monument positioned in the central reservation of Watford Way at its intersection with The Burroughs in North London. The structure occupies a prominent location within the local road network and serves as a focal point for remembrance.

The memorial was unveiled on April 23, 1922, and commemorates local residents who died during World War I and World War II. A relocation in 1962 became necessary due to road modifications, yet the monument retained its original commemorative purpose.

Regular commemorative ceremonies take place at the memorial during national remembrance events, bringing the community together to honor military service.

The memorial is easily accessible via multiple bus routes including 113, 143, 186, 324, 326, and N113, providing direct access throughout the week. Its central location makes it straightforward to find and visit at any time of day.

The memorial was relocated in 1962 due to road construction, yet it remained at its established place in the heart of Hendon. This move is often overlooked, though it marks a significant moment in the site's history.
