Dist:0.3km<br/>Despite its elevation there are a number of ponds on the common and surrounding areas. The sandy aquifer provides the source of several small streams which form the upper tributaries of the Brent catchment or join the Colne.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This is a reverse view to that shown in the First Geograph taken in this square [[85312]] in November 2005. Spring Pond is one of four large ponds on top of the hill above Stanmore. The houses on the other side date from the 1860s and were built to provide accommodation for staff and for stabling for the nearby Stanmore Hall. They are Grade II Listed Buildings.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The Vine was at the top of Stanmore Hill but has now been converted into an Indian and Indo-Chinese Fusion Restaurant http://rawlasan.com/index.html. Lasan is Gujarati for garlic, so the photographer understands. The original Vine pub sign, bearing the name Sedgwicks, is still in situ on the left. The only obvious cross reference to Sedgwicks that the photographer can find is that there was a Sedgwicks family brewery based in Watford, that functioned from 1862 to 1923 when the brewery was taken over by Benskins.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Stanmore Hall was originally built in the 1840s and is now private residential accommodation. These are the contemporary Grade II Listed entrance lodge and gate piers to the hall on Wood Lane. With its swept pyramid-style roof the lodge and the gate piers are constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings. Surmounting the gate piers are two heraldic beasts.
