A short history of NW8
The Manor of Lileston, from which St John's Wood takes its name, passed to the Knights of St John in 1312 when the Knights Templar were suppressed. By the 15th century the hill to the east was already being called Primrose Hill. Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey was murdered there in 1678. Building on the St John's Wood estate began in 1804 when the Eyre brothers held their first auction, with James Burton among the first developers. The Regent's Canal was finished in 1816 and the railway tunnel beneath Primrose Hill, the first in London, in 1838. In 1842 an Act of Parliament secured Primrose Hill as public open space. The area has 461 listed buildings, among them seven at Grade I such as Hanover Terrace and Nuffield Lodge.
