Edgware Rd.

Edgware Roads Tube Station entrance is found on the corner of Chapel Street and Cabbell Street, out of view from the roads main street. A short 1 minute walk along Chapel St easily finds the stations entrance. There were once 2 seperate entrances to Edgware Road Underground Station but in recent years the entrance near the corner of Bell Street has been closed down leaving the remain one entrance on Chapel Street still functioning. 

This guide may also help those clients who have never been to London before, plan their booking a little easier. Those of you who are experienced London commuters will no doubt breeze past most of this.

From Edgware Road Tube station a strong cafe culture exists and shops serve the public from this point as the road heads in a southerly direction towards Marble Arch lined with various shops along its length. As a guy waiting to start your planned booking that’s already in place, this area is a good place to hang out for drinks and food while you wait to go in. There’s also a cinema at the southern Hyde Park end and several banks in the area to obtain cash.

Background and history

Edgware Road, a busy major road running through north west London. Beginning at Marble Arch and running all the way through to Edgware in Barnet. Edgware Rd has deep Roman origins as it was once a Roman road, evident in the fact that the road runs in a near perfect straight line for around 10 miles, something quite unusual in London. Along its length the route undergoes a host of name changes: Maida Vale, Kilburn High Rd, Shoot Up Hill, and Cricklewood Broadway to name but a few.
