Preston Hotel, 161 Preston Road, Wembley HA9

Harrow pub history index

Even in the early 20th century the area was entirely rural. Preston Road remained little more than a country lane until the late 1930s. Suburban development came after the 1924-5 British Empire Exhibition and associated road works. Housing spread along Preston Road and Preston Hill in the 1920s, accompanied by a pub, the 'Preston Park Hotel'. ***
