Silver Works, Colindale, London, NW9 0FF

DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Colindale, a district in the London Borough of Barnet, has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Originally a small hamlet called Colindeep, the area was known for its springs and wells. Over time, Colindale underwent significant development, transforming into a thriving residential and commercial hub.

Early Development
In the late 19th century, cheap land prices made Colindale attractive to developers. This led to the construction of Colindale Hospital in 1898, which served as an asylum for the long-term sick of central London. The Government Lymph Establishment, built in 1907, was another notable development in the area.

Industrialization and Manufacturing
During World War I, Colindale became an important center for aircraft production, with the Airco factory being the largest aircraft manufacturing company in the world at the time. After the war, other manufacturing companies moved into the area, including General Motors, Franco Illuminated Signs, and Frigidaire.

Suburban Expansion
The arrival of the tube station in 1923 marked the beginning of Colindale's suburban expansion. The area saw rapid development, with the construction of semi-detached housing, schools, and other amenities. By 1939, much of the western side of Colindale was comprised of semi-detached housing.

Modern-Day Colindale
In the 21st century, the site underwent significant redevelopment. The Silver Works development, completed in 2018, comprises high-specification one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as 13 disability-friendly apartments and six luxurious townhouses. The development was designed to provide a mix of private and communal spaces, including private balconies or terraces, and communal landscaped courtyards and gardens.

The development was built by Galliard Homes, a renowned property developer in the UK. The company worked with Davis Landscape Architects to design the external spaces, including the podium deck and the linear park.

Today, Silver Works- Colindale is a vibrant and diverse area, known for its excellent transport links, green spaces, and range of housing options. The area is home to several notable institutions, including the Royal Air Force Museum, Public Health England's Centre for Infections, and the Colindale Campus of Barnet and Southgate College.
