Hendon Football Club is an English semi-professional football club based in West Hendon in the London Borough of Brent. The club is currently competing in the Ryman Isthmian Football League Premier Division.
After three seasons ground-sharing at Harrow Borough F. C.’s Earlsmead Stadium in South Harrow, Hendon began season 2016-17 at a new stadium, Silver Jubilee Park in West Hendon.
Prior to the founding of the present club, there was a previous club with the same name which appeared in the FA Cup between 1877 and 1887. One of the former club's players, Charles Plumpton Wilson made two appearances for England in 1884.
The current club was originally formed as Christchurch Hampstead in 1908 and joined the Third Division of the Finchley & District League, which they won at the first attempt, earning promotion to Division Two. At the start of the 1909–10 season the club were renamed Hampstead Town. They also won Division Two at the first attempt, earning promotion to the First Division, which they won in 1911–12. The club then joined the London League and Middlesex League, before being elected to the Athenian League in 1914. However, the 1914–15 season was postponed due to World War I.
In 1926 the club was renamed Hampstead, before becoming Golders Green in 1933. In 1946 the club adopted its current name. In 1952–53 the club won its first Athenian League title. In 1954–55 they reached the final of the FA Amateur Cup, losing 2–0 to Bishop Auckland. They went on to win the Athenian League title again in 1955–56, and reached a second Amateur Cup final in 1959–60, defeating Kingstonian 2–1. A third Athenian League title was achieved in 1960–61.
