Bushey Heath to Stanmore is said to be where highwaymen such as Dick Turpin lurked ready to raid the dozen or so caravans that passed through Bushey Heath daily, carrying money from trade in London. Fast forward to today and at 10pm at night it still didn't feel like a place to linger.Chris Pearson24/04/2015
