Alexandra Road is part of the Southfield Park Triangle.
Acton Council minutes show that on 29 April 1903 a plan for 36 houses in Alexandra Road was put forward by J. Hall. It was ’disapproved’ at that meeting, but a similar application was improved in on 13 May 1903. In August and September 1903, and February 1904, further plans were approved for a total of 48 houses in Hatfield Road.
The roads are bordered to the north by the line of the short-lived Hammersmith branch of the North and South West Junction Railway, to the west by Southfield Recreation ground, and to the east by Rugby Road. Bedford Park, the first garden suburb, built in the 1870s, lies to the south, and the Uxbridge Road, one of the main western routes out of London, at this point known as The Vale, runs a little to the north.
