Shalfleet Drive is a newer road in the Latimer Road area of W10

The first record of the road seems to be council housing built in 1966. From 1977, Shalfleet Drive was part of the Frestonia collective.

It was named by association with the surrounding streets, a 19th-century development by James Whitchurch of Southampton who used Hampshire place names. Shalfleet is on the Isle of Wight, then part of Hampshire and now a separate county.
