The Hyde electrical works

The Hyde Electrical Works is a significant residential development site in Hendon, Northwest London. Located on Edgware Road (A5), the property gains from its proximity within a rapidly emerging area. Bordered by regeneration zones such as Brent Cross, Cricklewood, and Colindale, this area of the capital is benefiting from long-term investment from both the public and private sectors. With Hendon Station just 800 m from the site, it has excellent rail access to King’s Cross, City Thameslink, and West Hampstead, as well as Northern Line services just a short distance away at Colindale and Hendon Central.

The scheme is located 1.6 km from the upgraded Brent Cross Shopping Centre which will benefit from a significant regeneration and expansion with new retail, leisure, and transport facilities. Local amenities are available 100 meters away, including Sainsbury’s and the popular Bang Bang Oriental Food Hall. Transport Within easy reach is the M1, A406, and A41, with Heathrow Airport 17 km to the southwest. This convenient yet developing urban center makes Hyde Electrical Works an ideal destination for prospective homeowners and investors.

Further stages of the development could push total housing capacity up to 354 units, subject to additional consent. Existing building heights are between 3 and 17 storeys and a feasibility study has been completed confirming further massing is possible. The site plan has been designed to combine residential character with enhancements to the public realm at a density level appropriate for the area.

A residential mix of intense crowding and careful city-making. Inside, plans welcome a mix of units from studios to 4-bed homes, to suit investors and long-term dwellers.
