Later history

The club continued in existence into the 1930s and is known to have been playing in 1937. There is no direct connection between the original club and the present day Hendon F.C., which was founded in 1908 as Christ Church Hampstead and took its present name in 1946. The two clubs played each other twice in April 1932 to raise funds.

Famous players

Charles Plumpton Wilson made two appearances for England in 1883–84.
