Hendon is a place in the London Borough of Barnet. It is a suburban development situated 7 miles (11.3 km) north west of Charing Cross. Hendon was historically a civil parish in the county of Middlesex. The manor is described in Domesday (1087), but the name is earlier, and there is even evidence of Roman settlement discovered by the Hendon and District Archaeological Society and others. The Midland Railway and the Great Northern Railways came in the 1860s, and the underground, at Golders Green at least, in 1907. Much of the area developed in to a suburb of London and now the area is mostly town with some countryside in the Mill Hill, and Edgware area. Hendon industry was mostly centred on manufacturing, and included motor and aviation works, and developed from the 1880s. In 1931 the civil parish of Edgware was abolished and its area was added to the civil parish of Hendon.

Hendon became and urban district in 1894. In 1932 the urban district became the Municipal Borough of Hendon. The municipal borough was abolished in 1965 and the area became part of the London Borough of Barnet. Hendon’s claim to fame is in flying and Hendon Aerodrome is now the RAF Museum. The area is closely associated with the aviator Claude Grahame-White. Another part of the Aerodrome site is the Hendon Police College, the training centre for the Metropolitan Police. It is a former borough and ancient parish. The name means the high place or down, and Hendon's moto is Endeavour. The Burroughs is a civic centre for the London Borough of Barnet, and also the site of Middlesex University Business School.

Hendon and District Archaeological Society has found a number of interesting Roman artifacts at Church End but nothing conclusive, and the Saxon settlement near to the church may not be a continuation of its Roman predecessor. The Domesday Survey mentions a priest, and a church building was documented in 1157. The oldest fabric of the present church is 13th century. The fifty-foot tower (c1450) was much restored in the 18th century when the weathercock, in the form of the "Lamb and Flag" the badge of the St John, was added. The church is, however, dedicated to St. Mary, an enigmatic feature that defies local historians to this day. Eastern extensions carried out between 1913 – 15 to designs of architect, Temple Moore have greatly expanded the church. Sir Stamford Raffles, founder of Singapore in 1819, is buried in the church. The most important grave in the churchyard is that of Herbert Chapman the manager of Arsenal Football Club in the 1920s and 1930s. Bram Stoker, may have had St Mary's graveyard as his model for his fictional "Kingstead", the uneasy resting place of Lucy Westenra in his book Dracula. A more benign spirit, St Mary's graveyard is also the resting place of Coventry Patmore's wife Emily, the model for the poem The Angel in the House (1854), and the upon whom the Victorian model of domesticity "the Angel of the Hearth" is based.

West of the church is the Greyhound pub rebuilt in 1898. Originally called the church house it was used vestry meetings from the 16th to 1878. In 1676 the inn, by then was known as the Greyhound, burned down in a fire. In 1855 a fire brigade was established, renamed the Hendon volunteer fire brigade in 1866, and a manual fire engine was kept in a building the church. Further west Church Farmhouse Museum, opened in 1955, is run by the London Borough of Barnet.

The Abbot of Westminster, then Lord of the Manor had a house (c1285) known as Hendon Place. The house was rebuilt in the Elizabethan period, and again around 1760. The story that Elizabeth I planted a cedar tree in the grounds of the house, when Sir John Fortescue lived there was is an 18th century story. From 1828 it was occupied by Charles Abbott, Lord Tenterden, from whom it took its later name Tenterden Hall. The house was demolished in 1938 having been Hendon Proprietary School (now located at a house called Brenthurst close by). Trevor Huddleston the anti apartheid campaigner was at school there in the early 1920s.

During the 18th century some of immediate estate surrounding Hendon Place was auctioned off for large houses, with much of the land being used for building other mansions. Of these Hendon Hall, new in 1756, at the corner of Ashley Lane, is the last remaining, and perhaps the best known. The suggestion that David Garrick the actor lived here whilst he was briefly Lord of the Manor, (1765-79) is without foundation. A small obelisk in the hotel garden dedicated to William Shakespeare and David Garrick originally stood, until 1957, in Manor Hall Road. A ceiling painting by Tiepolo, Olympia and the Four Continents was uncovered in 1954 (now in American); but two other large ceiling paintings, are still in the house. A Mr. Somerville laid out Waverley Grove and Tenterden Grove in the 1860s and by the end of the 19th century the estate was further developed by C F Hancock and included houses. St Swithans, was for many years a convent and training house of the Sisters of Nazareth, it is now a Jewish School. Further north is Holders Hill House now Hasmonean School.
