Mill Hill and Hendon were both rural areas located in the northwestern part of London in 1888. The majority of the population consisted of agricultural workers and small farmers. However, there were also wealthy landowners who lived in large estates and mansions in the area.

Historical places of interest in Mill Hill included the 18th-century St. Mary's Church, which had connections to the famous diarist Samuel Pepys. There was also a large workhouse, which provided accommodation and employment to the poor and destitute.

In modern Hendon, the main attraction is the RAF Museum, which was formerly known as the Royal Air Force Museum. This museum showcases the history of the RAF and displays a wide range of aircraft, including early planes from the First World War and more modern jets. There is also a large park, Hendon Park, which is a popular destination for recreation and leisure activities.
