History

The Metropolitan Tower Construction Company, formed to construct a tower and pleasure gardens at Wembley Park, was converted into the Wembley Park Estate Company in 1906, remaining a subsidiary of the Metropolitan Railway Company. The aim of the Company was to develop property near to the newly-built railway lines, thus increasing passenger numbers. In 1919 the Company became Metropolitan Railway Country Estates Limited.
