Ossulton Way rises steeply out of Market Place running northwards to meet East End Road which forms the northern boundary of Hampstead Garden Suburb.

St Marylebone Cemetery forms the northwest boundary to the area. Closes and roads that lead off Ossulton Way take advantage of the south-facing slope.

The land was part of the 300 acres leased initially in 1919. The Trust did not have control over the development but the Co-partnership paid a fee to be able to make this land part of the Garden Suburb.

The earliest buildings, dating from 1927, are mainly in the south of the area.

A large number of architects contributed to the development, making it one of the most diverse in character in the Suburb. There are groups by different designers all along Ossulton Way.
