Dist:0.2km<br/>The cemetery is at the eastern end of Byron Park and was consecrated as a burial ground in 1902. The former branch line railway from Harrow and Wealdstone station to Stanmore, completed by the London and North Western Railway in 1890 and closed in 1964, ran along a low embankment in the trees in the distance.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The Belmont Trail is a footpath following the course of a former railway line. The railway ran from Harrow & Wealdstone to Stanmore Village, but closed in 1964.

Dist:0.3km<br/>If you look at satellite imagery currently available online you can see the layout of the driving school as it was, complete with road junctions, roundabouts, pedestrian crossings and even a ramp for practising hill starts. Today it lies derelict and only a couple of forlorn traffic lights and a leaning Belisha Beacon post bear silent witness to its past. Minutes of a local council meeting in 2004 refer to it as closed so it is at least 6 years since it was last used.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The mound across the road once formed a railway embankment. The railway was a branch line running from Harrow & Wealdstone to Stanmore Village, which closed in 1964.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Looking southwards down Kenton Lane, with the Library on the right. The RLH-class bus is on route 230 from Northwick Park station to Rayners Lane, but there's very little other traffic in this 1955 view.

Dist:0.6km<br/>At the exit to Kenton Library on Christchurch Road, since the two went from Pinewood Studios the only other one I know of is in Cornwall. Since the determined removals of these by councils these only remain on private roads nowadays.
