Hereford Road, W2

Hereford Road was planned as a road of detached villas.

Houses were planned by William Kinnaird Jenkins - who had acquired the area - along both sides of Westbourne Grove in 1840. Hereford Road may date from 1846.

Other land in Hereford Road was leased out by the Paddington Estate between 1853 and 1855, much of it for terraces by J. P. Waterson, a Bayswater builder.

The 1860s saw housing, which had ended in 1855 at St Stephen’s church and Hereford Road, spread to the Kensington boundary.
