Gravel Hill, N3

Across the junction of East End Road and Regents Park Road, Gravel Hill runs to Hendon Lane.

There was a pond at the junction with Hendon Lane until 1885 when it was drained. There is now a horse chestnut tree on site.

In 1918, the Sisters of Marie Auxiliatrice came to the Manor House in East End Road running the St Philip the Apostle residence for business women. The nuns’ chapel became a centre for a new parish. They later took on Derwent House at the corner of Regents Park Road and East End Road and part of this was a new chapel and dedicated to St. Philip. The present St Philip the Apostle Roman Catholic Church was built in Gravel Lane in 1933.
