Where and how?

Rural Golders Green before construction of the Underground station, 1904. 1999/20099Poster for tram services to Finchley and Cricklewood, 1909. 1983/4/141Golders Green in 1927, transformed from the scene above into a busy suburban Tube and bus interchange. 1998/76915

When the Hampstead Tube opened to Golders Green in 1907, it led to the creation of the first Tube suburb.

Suburbs built at Golders Green, Hendon and Edgware alongside the extending Underground lines offered cheap and fast access to the city and proved very popular. Among the new residents were many Jewish families who moved out of London’s overcrowded East End.

Please don't. Imports are a real, real annoyance. I'd rather have a partially

complete, high quality map than a bodge of crap data (NAPTAN, anyone?) that just

encourages more people to add crap data and get the "community to fix it".
