Hendon is served by [[Hendon Central tube station]]<ref name="auto"/> on the Edgware Branch of the [[Northern line]] (Zone 3/4 on the [[London Underground]] network) and by [[Hendon railway station]] on [[National Rail]]'s [[Thameslink (route)|Thameslink service]].

Numerous minicab companies operate within Hendon. The main routes that go through Hendon are the [[A1 road (Great Britain)|A1]] (Great North Road); [[A41 road|A41]] (North Western Avenue), also at various stretches called [[Hendon Way]] and [[Watford Way]] as well as the A406 ([[North Circular Road, London|North Circular Road]]); the last two have a junction that is called the Brent Cross flyover and is known as a traffic blackspot.

Further north is the site of [[Hendon Aerodrome]] in an area of Hendon now known as [[Colindale]]. It was famous for the first airmail delivery; the first parachute descent from a powered aircraft; the first night flights; and, from [[RAF Hendon]] during World War II the [[RAF]] provided the first aerial defence of a city. It is believed that the first casualty in the Battle of Britain was an RAF Hurricane pilot from Hendon. It closed to flying in 1968 and is now the site of the [[RAF Museum]], as well as the housing developments at [[Grahame Park]] and Beaufort Park.
