Mill Hill

A country village the M1 found anyway·Greater London·London

Mill Hill has the shortest high street in London, and every shop on it has since been turned into a house, which tells you how much the village wanted a high street. Up on The Ridgeway it is green belt and big old houses; down the hill on the Broadway is where the actual shopping happens, next to a Waitrose built on the old gas works. Even the secret Cold War bunker on Partingdale Lane is a private home now. In Mill Hill, the end of the world is a property conversion.
