St John's Wood was developed from the early 19th century onwards.
It was one of the first London suburbs to be developed with a
large amount of low density "villa" housing, as opposed
to the terraced housing which was the norm in London up to the
19th century, even in expensive districts.
Parts of St John's Wood have been rebuilt at a higher density,
but it remains a highly desirable residential district.
It is an extremely popoular region of London for those looking
for high quality property and real estate, with a constant demand
for homes and apartments.
St John's Wood is the location of Lord's Cricket Ground, home
of the MCC and original headquarters of the sport. It is also
famous for Abbey Road Studios, where The Beatles recorded, notably
the Abbey Road album, the cover of which features the band crossing
the road.
