Belsize Place follows the line of an old footpath.

A footpath remains at the end of Belsize Place and continues to Akenside Road which also follows the line of the same footpath.

This right-of-way connected Belsize Lane to Shepherd’s Well, running along the boundaries of the estate of Rosslyn House.

The parkland attached to Belsize manor house ran from Belsize Avenue. Other local streets - Belsize Gardens and Belsize Park Gardens - were laid out on part of it when the house was demolished in 1841.
