Oakwood Road was laid out during the second phase of Hampstead Garden Suburb.
Oakwood Road, Denman Drive, Falloden Way and the three ’Holms’ were developed to provide housing for rent for modest rates. Architecturally, they continued the artisan cottage tradition.
The area is notable for its green character. Big Wood and Little Wood are the remnants of ancient woodlands and the mature oaks in these two woods rise above the cottages of Oakwood Road.
