  Metropolitan Railway Country Estates (MRCE) was a limited company created in 1919 to manage and develop the land owned by the Metropolitan Railway, notably in what was known as Metro-land north-west of London.
  
  Some of the land had been previously handled by the Surplus Lands Committee, established in the first years of the 20th century.
