Brent Cross

Brent Cross is a major traffic interchange and area in the London Borough of Barnet, England.

Notably, the Brent Cross Shopping Centre, a major retail facility, was opened in 1976,[3] south of the interchange.

Previously the area had been known as Renters Farm, a name dating from 1309, and it remained largely farmland until the nineteenth century.

The crane jib buckled and collapsed onto a coach travelling east on the North Circular Road killing seven passengers on board.

[9] Whilst three-level roundabouts are compact and initially cheap to build, they have been criticised for their short lifespans, turning difficulties and limited capacity.

The London Underground stations nearest to the shopping centre are Brent Cross and Hendon Central, both on the Northern line.
