English Heritage

Site: Amy Johnson (1 memorial)

NW2, Hendon Way, Vernon Court

This is a really horrible road, noisy with polluted air in an area we don't know well. We took our photos and looked at the map on our phone to work out the route to our next stop - no signal!  We stayed calm and didn't panic - retracing our steps until we got a signal again.  Funny how you can take against a place.
