In 1888, Palmers Green and West Green were suburban areas located in the northern part of London. The areas were primarily made up of middle-class residents who lived in Victorian-style houses. Palmers Green had a railway station, which was opened in 1871, and the surrounding area developed quickly, with shops, schools, and churches being built to accommodate the growing population. West Green, on the other hand, was more rural, with large houses and estates owned by wealthy families.

Historical places of interest in the area include the Broomfield House in Palmers Green, which was built in the 16th century and later became a public park in the 20th century. The house was damaged in a fire in the 1980s and was partially restored, and now serves as a community center. The West Green House, which was built in the early 18th century, is another historical site. It was a grand mansion owned by wealthy families and later served as a school before being demolished in the early 20th century.

Overall, Palmers Green and West Green were important suburban areas in London in the late 19th century, with a mix of middle-class residents and wealthy landowners. The areas were developing rapidly, with new amenities and infrastructure being built to accommodate the growing population.
