Lyttelton Road was never intended as a main road but transformed to one as part of the Barnet bypass in 1926-1928. The first block of shops with flats above in Market Place was built in 1922.

Along Lyttelton Road, three developments of blocks of flats were built, between 1929 and 1936.

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.
