Allitsen Road is a road in St John’s Wood, dating from the 1820s.

Frances Allitsen was a songwriter, best remembered for the patriotic There’s A Land, popular at the time of the Boer War.

She died in 1912 having spent part of her life at 20 Queen’s Grove, St John’s Wood, and so her name was selected when this nearby street, formerly Henry Street, was being renamed in 1938.
