Description

The Grahame White Hangar, located on Grahame Parkway in Hendon, was constructed partly before 1914 and partly around 1919 by Claude Grahame-White, a student of Louis Bleriot. This hangar was part of his School of Aviation and was associated with the Grahame-White Aviation Company, which he founded around 1911, producing aircraft such as Breguets, Morane-Saulniers, and Nieuports under license. During the First World War, production shifted to Arro 504s and DH6s. The hangar consists of two sections: a large four-bay structure primarily framed in steel with full-height sliding doors on the north side, and a smaller, older east section made of load-bearing brickwork featuring elliptical trusses with timber lattice webs. The hangar is listed for its historic interest.

Local climate

Grahame White Hangar sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
