As part of the changes happening in the area, we’ve purpose built new replacement homes for residents that previously lived in the high-rise and low-rise buildings on the estate. 

You’ll find information about the replacement homes built on Brent Terrace for residents in the former low-rise buildings here and you can read about Conductor House, at Brent Cross Town which was built for residents of the high-rise buildings here.  

Whitefield Estate Legacy  

The Whitefield Estate, and neighbouring communities, are a key part of the history and identity of the Brent Cross Cricklewood development area. With the relocation of residents living in the former low-rise and high-rise buildings on the Whitefield Estate to brand new homes close by, and with a vibrant and rich history all around the surrounding area, we want to ensure the legacy of this community is reflected as we look towards a new era.  

We are looking to launch an oral histories project with a community steering group set up to help capture and tell the stories of the local area.  

If you are interested in joining the group, please contact us via the contact form here or by email at transformingbx@barnet.gov.uk    

Demolition Information

The demolition of the low-rise buildings was completed last year and with the former high-rise residents relocated to their new homes at Brent Cross Town, demolition of the tower blocks is due to commence. This is part of the wider Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration programme and will be progressed according to the planning permission granted for the Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration programme. This will also enable the next delivery phase of of Brent Cross Town, which will deliver up to 6,700 new homes, a new high street for the area and create tens of thousands of new jobs.

We’ll be reaching out to residents in September with a full construction programme, ahead of the demolition. You can stay informed about the works via the work schedule below.
