On Parkside, at the edge of Gladstone Park, Owen Williams's concrete synagogue of the 1930s has windows whose glazing bars form a seven-branched candlestick. It has been listed Grade II since 1982 and is now Torah Temimah Primary School.
The streets north of Gladstone Park
The park is older than most of the houses round it. Willesden council bought the grounds of Dollis Hill House in 1901 for a public park, which was named after Gladstone, who had stayed at the house as a guest of Lord and Lady Aberdeen. Before the houses, the fields between Dollis Hill Lane and Oxgate Lane had another use: in 1916 the School of Mechanical Warfare set up a tank training ground there. Brent's archive dates the houses and flats at Oxgate and Dollis Hill to the 1920s and 1930s, and buses between Neasden and north Cricklewood were brought in to serve them.
That is the mix around Conway Road, Oxgate Gardens, Chipstead Gardens and Dollis Hill Avenue today. In the census area the House of Commons Library calls Dollis Hill, 42.7% of the 3,462 households lived in a purpose-built block of flats in 2021 and 30.1% in a semi. 32.9% rented privately, 25.7% rented from the council or a housing association, and 38.9% owned.
In a flat the cooker is likely to be a built-in single, about 90 minutes; in a 1930s semi it may be a double, about 2 hours. Either way the racks, trays and side runners come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, and the cavity, the fan cover and the door glass are degreased by hand indoors, over dust sheets.
Brook Road and the Old Oxgate
The Post Office Research Station off Brook Road made the parts for Colossus, arguably the first electronic computer, were made there before going to Bletchley Park, and an underground citadel for the War Cabinet was dug in its grounds. The station closed at the end of the 1970s; the old building is now flats, reached by a road called Flowers Close after Tommy Flowers, who led the Colossus team.
On Coles Green Road, the Old Oxgate is a timber-framed farmhouse of the 16th and 17th centuries, listed Grade II* as probably the oldest surviving house in Brent.

Dollis Hill oven cleaning questions
Are Oxgate Lane and Coles Green Road part of Dollis Hill?
Yes. They are in the same Dollis Hill ward, and neither has a controlled zone on Brent's map.
I live on Mora Road. When is the van easiest to park?
Before 10am or on a Sunday, when zone GM is not running. A Sunday costs the same as a weekday. The streets nearer Cricklewood are on our Cricklewood page.
My flat is on an upper floor. Is that a problem?
No. Tell us the floor and whether there is a lift when you ring.
How long is the team in the kitchen?
About 90 minutes for a single and about 2 hours for a double. Before the team leaves, the oven is put back together, heated and checked with you.
What customers tell us
I would certainly recommend this service, very efficient and good value for money. The young man did a great job and even cleaned the kitchen floor. Thank you.
Arrived promptly and did a great job cleaning the oven, hob and extractor. They look like new now and for a very reasonable price too.
Nice hardworking lads that always do a good job. We used them for our old flat when moving out and for the new one now, both jobs were done very professionally. My wife is very impressed with the results and would recommend them to friends and family.
