parts of North West London. Note on spelling The form Metroland is now in common use, but the "brand" was hyphenated as Metro-land or METRO-LAND''. Evelyn Waugh, John Betjeman (in "Summoned by Bells") and Julian Barnes all dispensed with the hyphen, though Betjeman's documentary of 1973 correctly used "Metro-land", as that was the form always employed by the Metropolitan Railway in its brochures and on the trains themselves.
