Avenue, the first remotely controlled electrical substation in the country was constructed, which was able to power the train line while being controlled remotely from Golders Green. Also in 1924, it was announced that the London County Council was to build a housing estate (Watling Estate), which was ready for its first occupants in April 1927. The estate offered three main styles of houses, made of brick, wood, and steel, as well as newly constructed flats. Other housing estates were opened on former farmland, such as the Canada Park Estate and Highlands Estate. In 1927, Redhill Hospital was also opened near the Union Workhouse. With this and other new amenities the area was provided with a new station by 1928, and the population by 1931 had grown to . A shop parade was built along Watling Avenue in 1930, as well as a number of new schools to serve the area, such as Woodcroft and Goldbeaters. Most of the residents who migrated to Burnt Oak when the area urbanised in the 1920's came from the once-overcrowded working class districts of Islington and St Pancras. This led to discontent among some long-time residents, who accused the working class of pick-pocketing and possible Communist sentiments, giving the area the nickname "Little Moscow". This led to some shop owners denying service to those who lived on the estates. However, the Watling Centre, established in 1933, provided facilities and entertainment to the local population. On 29 June 1936, the Regent Cinema was opened on Burnt Oak Broadway, later becoming known as the Odeon Cinema and Savoy Cinema. From 1961, the building housed Mecca Bingo, London's first bingo club. The club closed in 2014, with the building becoming derelict, and as of 2021 is set to be transformed into apartments. Similarly to neighbouring Hendon and Grahame Park, Burnt Oak's history was associated with early aviation. The area was once the site of the Stag Lane Aerodrome, where pioneering pilot Amy Johnson had learned to fly. In July 1921, aviation pioneer Harry Hawker died after crashing in a park in Burnt Oak. Stag Lane was also the site of the de Havilland aircraft works, which employed a significant number of residents in the area. London's RAF Museum is located nearby in Grahame Park, on the site of the former Hendon Airfield. In September 1931 Jack Cohen opened the first Tesco store at 54 Watling Avenue, Burnt
