Napier Road runs from Russell Road across Holland Road to Addison Road.

It is a tree-lined and fairly quiet street, with some small local shops.

There are two short terraces on either side of Napier Road, between the backs of the houses in Holland Road and Addison Road.

Originally the Earl of Holland had entered into a building agreement with John Parkinson, the builder responsible for a Nos. 50-59 Addison Road, to construct these houses. Parkinson assigned his agreement to William Scott and it was Scott to whom the Earl granted the leases. Scott appears to have assigned the leases or sub-contracted the work to other builders.

James Randell Thursby, a builder from Poplar, built Nos. 1-9 and John Palmer, a builder from Pimlico, built Nos. 7-13. No. 14 was added in 1875.
