Lyttelton Road (and Market Place) formed part of Unwin’s 1911-12 plan for the ‘New (Hampstead Garden) Suburb’
Lyttelton Road was never intended as a main road but transformed to one as part of the Barnet bypass in 1926-1928. The first block of shops with flats above in Market Place was built in 1922.
Along Lyttelton Road, three developments of blocks of flats were built, between 1929 and 1936.
