Ampthill Square, NW1

Ampthill Square is a name which has existed in two different time periods.

The first Ampthill Square was part of an area east of Hampstead Road which disappeared under railway track widening. Edward Walford in 1878 pointed out: "Ampthill Square, which we have now reached, and which is in reality not a square, but a triangle, is so named after Ampthill Park, in Bedfordshire, formerly the seat of the Earls of Upper Ossory, but afterwards the property of the ducal house of Bedford, to whom the land about this part belongs."

The second Ampthill Square is part of the Somers Town estate. The names Ampthill Estate, Ampthill Square and Ampthill Square Estate are all used for the modern development.

The Estate consists of three flats with yellow, blue and red motifs and were built in 1965.

Swapping between the 1860 maps and current map shows the radically different cityscapes.
