Sudbury, London

Much of the land that once formed Sudbury Common until the 1930s has now been developed as a relatively green residential suburb of London.

Its section in the borough of Harrow is around Sudbury Court Drive, which is technically located within North Wembley.

Its upkeep was supported in part by Sir John Lyon, founder of Harrow School.

[3] Wealthy sisters and local philanthropists the Copland Sisters after which many local landmarks from streets to schools were named commissioned Sir George Gilbert Scott, the architect who later designed the Albert Memorial and St Pancras station, to build the Church of St John in 1846 which marks the easterly extent of Sudbury.

The Coplands built Sudbury Lodge in the grounds of their father's home in Crabbs House.

During the late Georgian period Sudbury was the home of the Express Dairy Company Limited run by the Barham Family.

Much of the area originally given over to arable land for use by dairy herds was lost during the interwar period.

The foundations of Sudbury Lodge, formerly the home of George Barham, founder of Express Dairies,[4] still stand amidst his walled gardens.

The park has a floral display, three ponds, a conifer plantation, a large and modern children's play area, and a war memorial.

During the late nineties they relocated to Loftus Road to share with QPR before moving to Buckinghamshire in 2001, and subsequently Coventry in 2014, and the ground at Sudbury Town has been developed for housing.

The Lyons' Sports Club hosted the field hockey preliminaries for the 1948 Summer Olympics.

The new mission church was dedicated on Wednesday 10 May 1905, by the Suffragan Bishop of Islington, and the first vicar was Reverend A M Bashford who served from 1910 to 1922.

This church, located at the eastern edge of Sudbury where it borders Wembley, dates from the Georgian era.

Phase 3 involving restoration of the Lychgate was completed in time for the mayoral visit on remembrance Sunday 2009.

STRA will work closely with Brent Council and other authorities to improve the conditions and safety in the area.
