Frestonia was the name adopted by the residents of Freston Road, London W11, when they attempted to secede from the United Kingdom in 1977 to form the Free and Independent Republic of Frestonia. Many residents eventually set up a housing co-op in negotiation with Notting Hill Housing Trust, and included artists, musicians, writers, actors and activists. Actor David Rappaport was the Frestonia Foreign Minister while playwright Heathcote Williams served as Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Trevor, pictured, grew tomatoes in compost made from Frestonian residents’ waste. TUM image id: 1455723675 Licence:

Lakeside Road lay in the heart of the gravel pits between Shepherd’s Bush and Brook Green, known as the ’Ocean’ owing to its marshes and lying water caused by digging for brick clay.
