Belsize Lane is a thoroughfare linking Rosslyn Hill with Swiss Cottage.
Belsize Lane is very old, being marked between hedges in Rocque’s 1745 map, and shown as leading to the grounds of the manor-house.
Baines says that about 1839 "Belsize Lane was long, narrow, and lonesome; midway in it was a very small farm, and near thereto the owner of Belsize House erected a turnpike gate to demonstrate his rights of possession."
While still an attractive road, the road is slightly too narrow for the modern buses which run along it. Traffic tends to buildup behind them.
