Hampden Road was built over the ancient Hollick Wood.

Between 1860 and 1870, the area to the east of Colney Hatch Lane, where once had been Hollick Wood was laid out – Cromwell Road, Hampden Road, Pembroke Road, Sydney Road and the roads between them.

The area was known as The Freehold, from the original developers. the Westminster Freehold Land Society. Development was very slow and even by 1883 there were only 870 inhabitants in 174 houses.

Development sped up after the First World War and by 1920 most of the Freehold east of Colney Hatch Lane and south of Albion Avenue further west was covered with buildings.


The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.

The aim of the project is to find the location every street in London, whether past or present, and tell its story. This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.

The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades.
