History

Hadley Wood borders onto the village of Monken Hadley, now a suburb of Barnet, and the two settlements share some features of social life. However, in modern history the two communities are distinct and separate, belonging to different parishes (both Civil parishes in England and Parish (Church of England)), which in turn belong to different civil London boroughs and ecclesiastical Deanery#Anglican usage.

Hadley Wood has historically been linked to Cockfosters. In civil administration it was part of the Municipal Borough of Enfield from its foundation in 1850 until 1965. In 1909 it became part of the newly created Ward of Hadley Wood and Cockfosters, for the return of local Councillors. In 1965 the Municipal Borough was abolished, and the London Borough of Enfield formed. The Ward of Hadley Wood and Cockfosters, whilst covering the same geographical area, is now known simply as the Ward of Cockfosters.Ward boundaries indicated on the [http://www.enfield.gov.uk/info/362/elections-voting/936/election_boundaries/2 website] of the Borough Council. In ecclesiastical administration, Hadley Wood remains part of the parish of Cockfosters, and the Deanery of Enfield.Ecclesiastical details listed at [http://www.crockford.org.uk/benefice.asp?id=111&br=23/977%20X Crockford] Clerical Directory. However, in 1911 a small local church (technically a 'proprietary chapel') dedicated to St Paul was opened on Camlet Way, Hadley Wood. Although it has not achieved the status of a parish church, it now operates independently of Cockfosters parish church, with its own staff and administration. In March 2011 St Paul's church celebrated its centenary with a special weekend of events.

The large railway station at Hadley Wood, with four long platforms, seems out of proportion to the size of the community. Local folklore suggests that the station was enlarged at the behest of local resident Sir Nigel Gresley, the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London and North Eastern Railway, who lived in Hadley Wood during the 1920s and 1930s before moving closer to St Albans,The Hadley Wood residence is cited in [http://www.gresley.org.uk/biog_has.htm this] biography. although there seems to be little or no evidence to support the theory.
