Falloden Way cuts through Hampstead Garden Suburb on an east–west axis, broadly following the valley of Mutton Brook. It was developed from 1913 onwards.

Now inundated with heavy lorry traffic, Falloden Way features charming small red brick cottages by Sutcliffe.

Originally, Falloden Way was considered part of Addison Way, only becoming the A1 after the completion of the Barnet by-pass to the north-west in 1926. It was never intended to be a main road.

As one travels northeastwards, ascending the hill towards Finchley, three culs-de-sac laid out by Sutcliffe come into view: Eastholm, Midholm, and Westholm. These were built just prior to Sutcliffe’s passing in 1915 and constituted an isolated spur of the older Suburb for several years. They continue to stand out distinctly in terms of quality when compared to other post-1920 developments.

Midholm (1914) was not entirely completed by Sutcliffe; Midholm Close, situated to the north of Hill Top, was designed by C U Butler in 1928.

Westholm (1914) was likely the work of a particularly talented assistant in Sutcliffe’s office. The setting back and forward of house groups is on par with Unwin’s finest standards of establishing identity, and the architectural detailing in brown brick, featuring black weatherboarded gables and some clever double bay windows positioned across the corners, rivals the best work of Parker.
