This district of northern Greater London is a birthplace of Archana Panjabi. Born in Edgware, this Emmy-winning actress became widely known for her role as Kalinda Sharma on The Good Wife. However, she has a number of notable roles in Bend It Like Beckham, Yasmin, and A Mighty Heart.
The name of the Edgware HA8 derives from the Saxon expression, Ecgi’s weir. The weir formed a pond that was a popular fishing spot back in the day. Ecgi is a personal name.
Edgware HA8 is associated with two of the most well-known music personalities. Coincidentally the two share a name but their musical style couldn’t be more different. Baroque music composer George Frideric Handel lived here as he created several compositions for royal figures. The other George is none other than famous pop singer, composer, and producer George Michael. Edgware HA8 is his birthplace.
