The main shopping parade on Watling Avenue was built in 1930 but the road was originally built to connect the new Burnt Oak station to Edgware Road. Watling Avenue was known as Mill Hill Avenue until 1927.

During the day Watling Avenue is generally very busy, bustling and vibrant. The shops are mainly family businesses serving all sectors of the community but there is a predominance of shops serving the diverse population.

For years, behind the road, and directly behind the shops, the Silk Stream clogs up with silt and refuse.
