Kingsbury's "High Street" is an entirely 1930's suburban development. When the Metropolitan Railway announced plans in 1929 to build a branch line from Wembley Park to Stanmore there were just two farms along this western end of Kingsbury Road. By the time the railway (now part of London Underground's Jubilee Line) opened in December 1932, parades of shops were being built along both sides of the road, with the Gore Farm and Valley Farm housing estates already partly-built behind them. When the black and white photograph was taken in the summer of 1933, the station building itself had a tobacconist's shop and a W.H.Smith newsagents on either side of its entrance, with a dentist's surgery on the first floor. To the left of the station, work on Grand Parade was nearing completion, while opposite, Station Parade included an Express Dairies shop, a butcher's and a Post Office in Carr's newsagents. In 1934 an Odeon Cinema was built next to Station Parade, which remained until the 1970's, when it was demolished to make way for a Sainsbury's supermarket. This closed in 1997, after the retailer had opened superstores in Kenton and West Hendon, and the premises are now an Aldi supermarket with a Fitness First health club above.

In the soothing green environs of serene suburban MG Road in Kandivali, stands this Grand facade of aristocracy. RNA Grande, as the Spanish name goes, forms an aura of upper crest nobility, synonymous with magnates and their community standing. The breath taking view with the west coast on one side and hills on the other side, the RNA Grande effuses life with a magical blend of flora and water bodies in its landscape designed by specialist consultants from Singapore. Around 30,000 sq. ft of spectacularly designed garden, jogging path, fitness park, half basket ball court, sitting alcove, water bodies, pool deck, party lawn, and fountains let the freshness linger right through the day. Indoor games facilities include table tennis, carom and chess. Swimming or the state-of-the art gymnasium and club house brings you back to fitness and energy. Or if you are not the sporty kind, Health Spa, or the yoga, meditation or even the Jain temple for spiritual solace. Better still you could chill out in luxury at the lounge party hall.
