London was blessed with a large number of greyhound tracks, notably Hendon, Hackney and Harringay, but it is sad to write that they have now all passed away. Hendon Greyhound Stadium was situated on the North Circular road in North London and opened its gates for racing on 5th March 1935 making it one of the later ones in the area. It operated under the NGRC umbrella and was used for BAGS racing.   It closed its gates for the last time on 30th June 1972.

This section gives a comprehensive picture of the badges produced by the track throughout the ages, but only provides the briefest of glimpses of its history. For those wishing to undertake further research we can recommend a visit to
