Retirement Properties Spotlight in St John's Wood

St John's Wood was once part of the Great Middlesex Forest and later owned by the Knights of St John of Jerusalem. The area was really developed from the 19th century onwards when little country villages on the outskirts of London such as Hampstead and Highgate to the north were soon to be swallowed up by the growing sprawl. St Johns Wood was one of the first London suburbs to be built with 'low density housing'. Lords Cricket Ground is situated off St Johns Wood Road and is the home of the Marylebone Cricket Club.
