Districts

Mill Hill Village

Mill Hill Village is the ancient heart of the district, a ribbon development along an ancient route called The Ridgeway. It is thought that its name is derived from a mill that once occupied a site on the Ridgeway, on an area of open ground now known as the Millfield Park. It is bounded both north and south with Green Belt land. Its proximity to London made it popular as a country retreat from the 17th century onwards. There are a number of large houses and quaint cottages. William Wilberforce (MP and abolitionist of the slave trade) and Stamford Raffles (founder of Singapore) both briefly resided here; the former being the patron of Mill Hill’s first church Saint Paul’s[1]. There are a number of large institutions including Mill Hill School, The National Institute for Medical Research, the motherhouse of The Daughters of Charity, and Saint Joseph’s College, a large seminary. There is a cemetery called Mill Hill Cemetery. To the southwest is a small suburban district called Poets Corner, and to the north an old estate, now a recreation ground, called Moat Mount (once the home of Irwin Cox).

To the west is Burton Hole Farm, the last proper farm in Mill Hill specialising in blond continental cattle, a small nursery garden called Finchley Nurseries, and a number of sports grounds.

Arrandene

Arrandene is a large open space which is bordered by Wise Lane, Wills Grove and The Ridgeway. It contains much beautiful and unadulterated scenery, making it a popular place in the area who want to get away from the busy town life. Whilst there are many open spaces in the area, Arrandene is unique for its many open fields and meadows, as well as the woodland which is more common in such places.
