Elaine Grove is a street in the Gospel Oak area.

The course of Elaine Grove has altered almost completely after Second World War bombing transformed the map of the area.

The 1900 map pf the area shows a small street linking a street called Heriot Place with Oak Village. After the post-war reconstruction, Elaine Grove was routed over the course of Heriot Place and beyond.

Originally Elaine Grove was known as Arthur Grove. In a clever renaming, Elaine was a character in Arthurian legend.
