Description
The Crescent is an early 19th century segmental crescent located on the east side of Hertford Road in Edmonton. Constructed of brown brick, with a stucco ground floor, entablature, and blocking course, the building stands three storeys high with a basement. The central and terminal features are distinguished by giant stucco Corinthian pilasters rising from the first floor level. The central pediment contains an octagonal brick dummy lunette within its tympanum. Each house is designed with a two-window frontage, featuring a round-arched doorway and a ground-floor window. First-floor French windows, recessed within round arched panels, open onto balconies with cast iron railings, all topped by flat arches. Three end houses on the left are now demolished. The majority of windows are sash windows with glazing bars, although a few long first-floor casements remain. Some original cornices are missing and replaced with plain cemented parapets. Numbers 84 to 132 (even) form a significant group.
Local climate
The Crescent sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 29 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.
