Holmdale Road runs from Mill Lane to Dennington Park Road in West Hampstead.

Holmdale Road was laid out in the 1890s slightly later than other roads in the area.

The land it was built upon was part of Thorplands, an 18 acre freehold estate south of Mill Lane. By the 1860s, Thomas Potter was the owner and started developing the land. Potter built some 15 houses fronting Mill Lane between 1873 and 1877 and the Elms and the Cedars next to West End Green by 1878.

The Cedars Estate was built here to replace the Cedars in 1894.
