The Canons Park Estate (or 'Canons Drive Estate' as it is more familiarly known) was created during the late 1920s and early '30s on land purchased from the sale of the Canons Estate. It comprised of around 340 houses and 66 flats. The majority of the houses were built in typical 'Black & White' style but there are also Arts & Crafts, Art Deco, however there are more modern styles of architecture to be found.

Two of the most beautiful areas of the Estate are the 'Basin Lake', and the 'Seven Acre Lake' - a private lake that is only accessible to CPEL members.

For some years now, the Estate has been listed as one of Harrow Council's conservation areas, which means that the appearance and maintenance of the houses and streets is strictly controlled, as are the trees and grass verges. Surplus Land (Canons) Ltd owns the Gate Piers at the entrance to Canons Drive, the house-side grass verges along Canons Drive, the magnificent redwood trees that line Canons Drive, the Basin Lake and the Seven Acre Lake.

These features were given to the residents, to be managed by the Canons Park Estate Association (CPEA), now the CPEL (Canons Park Estate Limited) and are also listed by English Heritage.
Membership of the CPEL is by voluntary subscription and is open to all householders on the Estate
