Block Management St John's Wood
As a specialist Block Management Company we are operating in St John's Wood .
History of St John's Wood
The name was recorded in Latin at the end of the 13th century when it became the property of the St. John's Hospital in Jerusalem (Boscum Prioris Sancti Johannis). The English name was first mentioned in 1524. Henry Samuel Eyre, a London wine merchant, bought the property from the Earl of Chesterfield in 1732. St Johns Wood did not develop in the same way as many other posh London neighborhoods. The low status meant that the roads were poorly maintained and did not attract a gentleman's seat, but unlike the more protective and hardy landowners elsewhere, the Ayer family benefited from the development.
In 1794 Ayres planned to create St John's Wood in the same style as the spa town of Bath, but this was thwarted by stagnation during the Napoleonic Wars. South of the Air Estate is the farmland of Marylebone Park and the former royal hunting ground, recently leased to the Duke of Portland. Most of their land was designed as Regent's Park, but the north end was built as Portland Town in the early 1800s and had working-class housing. Westminster City Council purchased the land forming the vault behind St John's Wood Church in 1808 and in 1814 St Marylebone Council built the church itself to accommodate the growing population of the neighborhood. . Also in 1814, Thomas Rose Cricket Ground moved to its current location on St John's Wood Road.

What our CEO, Mary Anne Bowring, likes about St John's Wood
I love St. John's Wood High Street with its chic boutiques and independent restaurants. The area is best known for Abbey Road Studios, which captured and snapped album cover photos as the Beatles walked a nearby pedestrian crossing. Lords Cricket Ground, the headquarters of Cricket in England, is a popular destination for tourists. Regent's Park, which has access to Regent's Canal, is also nearby.
Things to do in St John's Wood
Perfectly reproduce the cover of the famous Beatles album Abbey Road from 1969 by walking over the zebra crossing in a group of four! Write on the outer wall of Abbey Road Studios and stop by the shop to pick up cool things like Abbey Road souvenirs and perhaps a synthesizer. Exit St John's Wood tube station (Jubilee Line), cross Globe End, follow the hill to Abbey Road, turn right and you will see a walkway and the white Abbey Road Studios building
St John's Wood Cultural Scene
If you want to sit on a park bench or play a game of chess outside, go to St. John's Church Garden. There is an old cemetery on the beautiful grounds. St John's Church was built in 1814 by architect Thomas Hardwick and is now Grade II listed.
