Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking to do what we do well as well as sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day.
As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers’ to embody our values which are to build relationships, add value, and to take the initiative. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a ' money back guarantee ’.
Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.

History of Cricklewood
Cricklewood, situated in northwest London, has a history that reflects its transformation from rural farmland to a vibrant urban suburb. The area was originally part of the ancient parish of Willesden and remained sparsely populated until the 19th century. Its name comes from a small wood recorded as early as the 13th century. The arrival of the Midland Railway in the 1860s, followed by the opening of Cricklewood station in 1870, played a major role in the area’s development, bringing in commuters and encouraging the construction of housing and businesses.
In the early 20th century, Cricklewood became a hub for industry and innovation. It was home to the Handley Page aircraft factory and the Smiths Industries headquarters, both major employers in the area. The rise of the tram system also helped establish Cricklewood as a key suburban centre. Despite modern redevelopment, Cricklewood retains elements of its historical character through its Edwardian and Victorian architecture and diverse community. It remains a busy and multicultural area with a mix of residential, commercial, and green spaces.

Cultural scenes in Cricklewood
Cricklewood, a vibrant and evolving ward in North West London, is most famous for its multiculturalism and community ethos. The cultural existence of the ward represents a rich texture of traditions, backgrounds, and imaginative pursuits, drawn from its multi-population and evolving community groups. Although lacking grand cultural establishments, Cricklewood endures through grass-root initiatives, indigenous celebrations, and lively community halls that involve its inhabitants.
Arguably the most iconic event in the area is the Cricklewood Summer Festival, held in Claremont Park. The event welcomes thousands of local residents annually with its lively combination of live music, food stalls, and family-friendly activities. In 2024, the event featured circus skills workshops, bubble shows, and joint art sessions, providing a spectacle to the local events calendar. It's a great example of how Cricklewood makes use of common public space in order to create community and celebrate its diversity.
Another major highlight of recent years has been the Claremont Park Carnival, honoring Caribbean heritage in vibrant dance, costume workshops, steelpan music, and storytelling. Organized by Just In Carnival, the carnival offered a splash of color and sound in Cricklewood, and introduced numerous residents to carnival culture in an accessible and educational setting.
Cricklewood Library is a centre of activity in the cultural life of the community. Directed with the support of volunteers and community groups, the library provides monthly "Last Friday" concerts—regular sessions of music featuring local performers playing everything from jazz to folk. It also provides cultural activities ranging from ukulele meetings, line dancing, and readings, and provides a community room for people of all ages to come together across the arts.
Throughout the year, Cricklewood celebrate its multicultural past through activities like Black History Month and Eid celebrations, typically in association with neighborhood councils and groups. The activities include storytelling, music, food, and discussion forums that foster greater understanding and respect for the different cultures and experiences.
In essence, Cricklewood's cultural life is not massed in big venues or institutions but rather flourishes through community projects, shared public spaces, and a busy citizenry. Its festivals, arts workshops, and open celebrations are indicative of a neighborhood that rejoices diversity, creativity, and solidarity.
