Aberdeen Lane, N5

Aberdeen Lane was originally called Ivy Grove Mews and also Aberdeen Mews.

Ivy Grove Mews - later Aberdeen Mews - and built at the back of large houses in Aberdeen Park, became Aberdeen Lane by 1916. The street was lengthened in 1924 and 1930.

There had been a project, abandoned in the 1850s, to lay out a 500 acre public park which would have been bigger than Hyde Park. The park would have been bounded by Balls Pond Road, Seven Sisters Road, the Stoke Newington reservoirs and the Great Northern Railway.

The failed park earmarked the area to development with Aberdeen Park and Aberdeen Lane dating from the 1850s.

Arsenal underground station was called Gillespie Road before rebuilding in the 1930s. Alas, at the same time as the renaming, the station was remodelled to its modern, more brutalist, form.

Drayton Park station in its Northern Line days Drayton Park was opened by the Great Northern & City Railway (GN&CR) on 14 February 1904. Although the Victoria line does not serve Drayton Park, its construction during the 1960s had a significant impact on the station. The City Line tunnels north of Drayton Park were closed on 3 October 1964 and were reused by the Victoria line, which was connected to them south of Finsbury Park. Drayton Park became the northern terminus of the City line, which later became known as the Northern line Highbury Branch. On 4 October 1975 the line was closed and ceased to be part of the London Underground. The line was transferred to British Rail.
