Hendon Greyhound Stadium

[1] One year later in 1935 a stadium had been constructed on spare land between the River Brent and the relatively new North Circular Road directly east of the main London, Midland and Scottish railway line.

[2] The opening meeting was on 5 March 1935, which featured the band of the 7th Queen's Own Hussars and the ceremony was performed by the Mayor and Mayoress of Hendon (Councillor and Mrs. Brook Flowers).

[6] During the 1960s racing continued on two evenings per week (Monday and Saturday at 7.45pm) and amenities included a restaurant and five additional buffet and licensed bars with principal events called the North Circular Marathon, Burletta Stakes and L.V.

With the end of Park Royal and New Cross Stadium their Bookmakers Afternoon Greyhound Service (BAGS) fixtures were replaced by Hendon and Hackney.

[6] The stadium finally closed on 30 June 1972, it was demolished with some of the land forming the new links to the M1 motorway and the rest being used as parking spaces for the shopping centre.
