The St Paul’s Studios block was aimed at the housing of ’bachelor artists’. These unmarried men would require a separate flat for their housekeepers and their artistic endeavours would require the large windows with natural light facing Colet Gardens. And it became so. The block was occupied within a year of being built by the very clientele it had been designed for. The block looked out onto a peaceful suburban scene until the turn of the 1960s. Quiet Colet Gardens, with its milk floats and schoolchildren, fell victim to the upgraded A4 scheme whereby the Cromwell Road was extended westwards to link to the Hammersmith Flyover via this very spot. Renamed as part of the Talgarth Road, the widened route became the main road west out of London towards Heathrow. Thundering lorries put paid to the artistic charms of St Paul’s Studios.

For many years, and even though it appeared annually in the TV schedules, I had absolutely no idea where the Queen’s Tennis Club was. I eventually came across it while walking in the neighbourhood of Barons Court station, hidden away in the back streets. While preparing the video for one of my walks - the one between Barons Court and West Kensington - I had one of those ’blimey’ moments. A frequent comment on old photos on The Underground Map’s Facebook page is (and I paraphrase). "things have certainly changed since that was taken". Well, consider being a resident of Barons Court in the mid 1860s and then living there for the next thirty years. On the 1860s map, it’s a sea of market gardens. Your area is so remote that it hasn’t even got a name. Not so many houses are here although the Fulham Workhouse is a depressing reminder of the fickleness of fate. Then the District Railway arrives carving a route across the fields of turnips, carrots and lettuce. The local landowner has decided to speculate and has called his land ’Barons Court’ is anticipation of posh residents. A new station is built and so gets the name Barons Court too. Houses begin to fill the landscape - so much so that the mid 1890s map shows the arrival of acres of streets and development. Two tranches of land are set aside. One piece is kept to create the Margravine (or Hammersmith) Cemetery, established in 1868. A second area is reserved for a recreation ground which is then absorbed by the Queen’s Club (established 1886). This mid 1860s map shows the area where Barons Court station (BC) and West Kensington station (WK) will be built. The purple outline shows the future cemetery and the green outline the future Queen’s Club. This is one of the rare occasions in London where such plots do not exactly follow the former field boundaries.
