Another mystery brought up by this thread: A friend lives in Uphill
Drive, NW9, just off Kingsbury Road and not a million yards from
Southwell Road. Uphill Drive was built in the thirties, but it didn't
make it into the A-Z until the eighties. WhY?

It's in my A-Z of c.1971. 2F on Page 25. I had to get the magnifying
glass out to find it, though:-)

My A-Z dating from the decimalization era (1971-2), shows Southwell
Road, Harrow.

I wonder if we have the same edition. ...

The front cover is the same, but the LT Map doesn't have that note. On
page 77 it shows "Open 1971" where the Victoria line goes under the
river.

Looks like mine is the one after yours.

More likely the one before, then. So Terry's provides the earlier
cutoff date for the opening of the road.

Old A-Zs of London - older maps
 

Although not A-Z, the MOTO web sight has some interesting maps of London
circa 1746 and onwards to view or buy. May take a long while to get to
the map pages if you are dial up.
