Encyclopedia > Edgware Road

Edgware Road is a road in London. It runs from south-east to north-west from Marble Arch, underneath Marylebone Road and into Maida Vale. The southern half of the road forms part of the London Inner Ring Road and as such is part of the boundary of the London Congestion Charge zone.


The road itself continues in a straight line all the way to Edgware, which lies close to the north-west edge of Greater London. Certain stretches of the road are named separately, Edgware Road being used for only three of them. Kilburn High Road and Cricklewood Broadway form two other such stretches.


The southern half of the road is noted for its distinct Arabic flavour. Many Lebanese restaurants and shisha cafes line the street.


The entire length of the road is almost dead straight, hinting at its origins as a Roman road. See the article regarding Watling Street for further reading.
