In the 1950’s this site became a Territorial Army depot for the Parachute Regiment Reserves. They used to train using a tethered ex-barrage balloon with a basket, for approx 12 trainees plus instructors, from the open ground to the north (Wormwood Scrubs).

Speedway opened at the White City in 1928, the year in which it was first introduced to the UK. The new speedway track is plain to see together with the new lighting system on poles on the inside of the track and the referee's box on the start/finish line.

All Soul's Cemetary Kensal Green. Created in 1832, this is the oldest of London's 'magnificent seven' nineteenth century cemetaries. There are over 250,000 Londoners buried here, including Freddie Mercury, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Charles Babbage, Anthony Trollope, William Makepeace Thackeray and Wilkie Collins.

I believe Freddie Mercury was cremated at Kensal Green, but that his ashes are elsewhere.
