==Geography== Edgware town centre lies about {{convert|60|m|order=flip}} above sea level. Much of Edgware is steep, particularly around [[Edgwarebury Park]] (a [[Site of Nature Conservation Interest]]) and the [[Broadfields Estate]]. The [[Edgwarebury Brook]] (not to be confused with the ''Edgware Brook''), is a tributary of Deans Brook. The [[Deans Brook]] and ''Edgware Brook'', which form the historic southern boundary of the area, merge and take the name [[Silk Stream]] in the vicinity of Edgware Hospital (known as Redhill Hospital till 1948). The Silk Stream is a tributary of the [[River Brent]], which it meets at [[Brent Reservoir]]. Open spaces in the area include [[Edgwarebury Park]] and [[Stoneyfields Park]]. Major roads in the vicinity include the A5, the [[A41 road]] (Watford Bypass) and the [[M1 motorway]]. The A5 Road (originally the Roman Watling Street) runs from central London by way of Edgware and onto [[Wroxeter]] in Shropshire. The Road is known as the ''High Street'', ''Stone Grove'' and ''Brockley Hill'' as it runs along the Edgware/Little Stanmore parish boundary; immediately south of that boundary it is known as ''Burnt Oak Broadway''. Further south it is known as [[Edgware Road]], meaning ''the road to Edgware''. {{Geographic Location |title = Neighbouring areas |Northwest = [[Stanmore]] |North = [[Elstree]] |Northeast = [[Borehamwood]] |West = [[Queensbury, London|Queensbury]] |Centre = Edgware |East = [[Mill Hill]] |Southwest = [[Queensbury, London|Kingsbury]] |South = [[Burnt Oak]] |Southeast = [[Hendon]] }}
