Addison Way is the northernmost road in the Temple Fortune section of Hampstead Garden Suburb.
Addison Way features a remarkable entrance way to the Suburb. The road was laid out in 1911 and is arguably the finest continuous group of houses in the Hampstead Garden Suburb, all by Parker and Unwin, except for a couple of terraces at the far end by Michael Bunney.
It was part of the main northern east-west access of the extended Suburb before the A1 was built.
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. |
