Waterlow Court is an enclave of cloistered flats designed in 1904 by architect M H Baillie Scott, his only multiple housing scheme for Hampstead Garden Suburb. It was built as a communal residence for professional single women by the Improved Industrial Dwellings Company Ltd, whose chairman was Lord Sidney Waterlow. Around the buildings are five landscaped areas with lawns, beds, a wild garden with 35 fruit trees and a 1939 pre-cast shelter. The layout remains similar today to that of Baillie Scott's original plan; it is likely that the planting scheme was inspired by Gertrude Jekyll.

Watling Park is within the Watling Estate, a large LCC housing estate built in the 1920s on former farmland, its design influenced by Arts and Crafts and the Garden City movement. The estate was named after the nearby pre-Roman route, Watling Street. Watling Park was the largest of the public parks and open spaces created along the large trace of open land running through the middle of the estate following the course of the Silk Stream and its tributary, Burnt Oak Brook. In June 1929 the land put aside for Watling Park was cleared of building materials and the public park opened in 1931. The landscaping includes a formal rose garden, numerous trees, and pedestrian bridges crossing the stream.

Hampstead Garden Suburb was conceived by Dame Henrietta Barnett in 1903 when the area, hitherto rural, became ripe for development. Her aim was to provide a garden suburb for the working classes, with some larger houses as well as amenities. The overall layout was the work of Raymond Unwin. The street pattern followed the land contours, with curving and straight roads to create interesting viewpoints, closes and squares, street trees, a pedestrian network of footpaths and a variety of green spaces. Willifield Green was laid out as part of the first phase of development, largely built between 1907 -1912, and consists of an expanse of grass with trees and shrubs, low wooden posts to the road. Set behind the green are artisans cottages built in 1909 for the Improved Industrial Dwellings Company.

The site comprises private houses and tower block built in the 1980s around the former Woodside House. Built by J. Baxendale in c.1841 it was described in 1850 as 'a beautiful villa with a pretty conservatory, in a setting of lawns, groves and a lake'. During WWII the Special Constabulary used the front room of the house as its station. It became the Woodside Home for Elderly Ladies and it remains a retirement home set in pleasant grounds that still include the lake. In Baxendale Close some very fine specimen trees including a Cedar of Lebanon are preserved, dating from the earlier landscape.
