AEC Regent 1 ST bus with the LGOC body. They opted for a more modern enclosed staircase rather than the Tilling version, which sported an external staircase.

St Gabriel's became the terminating point of route 651 trolleybuses from Barnet and route 645 from Finchley. Route 651 commenced on 8th march 1938 but was very short-lived with an existence of only 12 weeks. The 645 to here, was an off peak shuttle service - rather than the full service between Barnet and Canons Park which itself was withdrawn in April 1941. For these services, and the few evening 664s and 666's which turned here, a turning circle was erected at the junction of Walm Lane and Chichele Road.

Chichele Road, named after the 15th century archbishop of Canterbury who owned much land in Willesden. He founded All Souls college Oxford and much of his land passed to the college on his death.
