Belmont (Middlesex)

Belmont is named after the mound, constructed in the early 18th century by Henry James Brydges - Earl of Carnarvon and first Duke of Chandos.

The first Duke of Chandos had a summer house built atop a mound he constructed so that he could get a ’wonderful view’. He called the mound Belmont. The mound, or mount, is now the Stanmore Golf Course.

Belmont is now a suburban residential district and was formerly served by Belmont station, on a railway single-line branch running from Harrow & Wealdstone station to Stanmore Village railway station. The line was known locally as The Rattler. The site of the station is now a car park. What may remain of the platform and track lies beneath tons of earth and rubble used to bring the car park up to street level.

Belmont Circle provides the main focus of the area, being a large, circular parade of shops that intersects Kenton Lane.
