Hendon is a district located in the north west of London, in the London Borough of Barnet.
Hendon as an area dates back to the Roman times and the name ‘Hendun’ means ‘at the highest hill.’ The area is heavily built up with some industry and mainly residential properties though some greenery does remain in the Mill Hill area.
Historically Hendon was notorious for being active in miscellaneous manufacturing, motor and aviation works. The Hendon Aerodrome was closely associated with the aviator Claude Grahame-White and was an important centre for aviation between 1910 and 1968.
It was famous as a place of pioneering experiments which included the first airmail, the first parachute descent from a powered aircraft, the first night flights, and the first aerial defence of a city.
The first flight from Hendon was actually in a balloon called Mammoth in 1862 which at the time became a much loved spectator sport. The Brent Reservoir became a popular launch place and crowds used to gather on bank holidays and at weekends to watch the flights.
The national newspaper, The Daily Mail challenged aviators to fly from London to Manchester within 24 hours with a prize of £10,000 in 1906. Claude Grahame-White made two attempts taking off from Hendon Aerodrome but the first successful trip was completed by the French aviator Louis Paulhan.
The Hendon Aerodrome closed in 1968 and is no longer a working airfield. The Aerodrome was turned into the RAF museum and housing has been built on some of the land. This is known as the housing developments of Grahame park and Beaufort Park.
Hendon Police College was also built in the grounds of the Aerodrome and is now the principal training centre for the Metropolitan Police. Though the centre is now officially called The Peel Centre the police themselves call it ‘Hendon’.
The college was opened in 1934 but it closed in in 1939 partly because of the war but many felt the police did not need an "officer class" and were best-served by continuing to promote from the ranks. It reopened in 1974 after a rebuild but closed again in 2007 as a general police college. Now it is used exclusively for new recruits or cadets who take part in the Initial Police Learning and Development programme (IPLDP) scheme.
