Abercorn School is a 'family' of schools in central London which offers an inspiring and caring academic atmosphere for pupils ages 2-13 years. In September 2021, Abercorn School announced that the school will begin welcoming 13-14 year olds from September 2022 as part of a wider expansion plan to welcome 11-18 year olds over the coming years. As part of this expansion, additional premises have been secured. Abercorn School now has four separate premises, all within walking distance in St John's Wood and Marylebone, London. The school was opened in 1987 by Andrea Greystoke.Abercorn uses the Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum as a basis for teaching. Pupils typically move on to a wide range of Independent secondary schools or boarding schools, with students now also progressing on to Abercorn's new Senior School. Pupils are prepared for the 11+ and 13+ examinations. Abercorn School is a member of ISA, the Independent Schools Association, and also IAPS, the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools.Around a third of students at Abercorn are international, a significant number of which are from North America.

Marlborough Road tube station
Marlborough Road tube station

Marlborough Road (sometimes shortened to Marlboro Road) is a disused London Underground station in St John's Wood, north-west London. It opened in April 1868 on the Metropolitan & St. John's Wood Railway, the first northward extension from Baker Street of the Metropolitan Railway (now the Metropolitan line). In the mid-1930s the Metropolitan line was suffering congestion at the south end of its main route, where trains from its many branches shared the limited capacity between Finchley Road and Baker Street. To ease this congestion, new deep-level tunnels were constructed between Finchley Road and the Bakerloo line tunnels at Baker Street; then, commencing on 20 November 1939, the Metropolitan's services toward Stanmore were transferred to the Bakerloo line (they are now on the Jubilee line) and ran to Baker Street through the new tunnels. Upon the transfer, Marlborough Road station was closed and replaced by St John's Wood station, then on the Bakerloo line; it had been little used, except (owing to its close proximity to Lord's Cricket Ground) during the cricket season.Shots of the remains of the platforms, and an outside shot of the station building and booking hall—which at the time was in use as a steak restaurant—were included in Metro-Land, a 1973 documentary presented by John Betjeman. The building housed a Chinese restaurant until 2009 and now contains a substation installed as part of the power upgrade programme to support the introduction of S stock on the Metropolitan line.Marlborough Road itself was renamed Marlborough Place in the 1950s.
