Edgware is a town of Middlesex on Watling Street, known in the county as the Edgware Road after this town. Edgware was a separate village until perhaps the early twentieth century. When the railway (now the Northern Line) was extended to Edgware, the village swelled enormously and in time joined the London conurbation.

Edgware's High Street is a section of the Edgware Road, itself the Middlesex section of the old Roman Road known as Watling Street. Much remains of the village in structure along the High Street, if little of its old buildings other than the parish church and two collections of almshouses.
