Famous People of Mill Hill

The proximity to London (and Westminster) has, for many years, made Mill Hill a popular district in which people involved in national affairs have established residence.

In more recent times, the location of a number of religious institutions, a public school, Military establishments including the Middlesex Regiment and the National Institute for Medical Research has brought about a connection, sometimes only brief, with people who have achieved national and international renown. More recently, the ease of travel into Theatreland, coupled with the proximity of TV and film production studios at nearby Elstree and Borehamwood, has drawn a large number of people in the entertainment industry to the area. And we should not omit persons of legend such as Nan Clark!

A list of those, by no means exhaustive, follows. Do you know someone worthy of inclusion whose name
