. It was named in the 1840s.
Aubrey Road is on a steep slope going down to
Holland Park Avenue.
It contains some of the most attractive houses in the area and these are substantial family houses set back from the road all in varying styles and with off-street parking. The houses range from Georgian to Gothic in style and a few of contemporary style.
In Tudor times, there was a 20 acre farm called Stonehills south of what is know
Holland Park Avenue. Originally it was owned by Sir Walter Cope, who sold it to Robert Horseman in 1599. Eventually it came into the possession of the Lloyd Family who sold it in 1823 to Joshua Flesher Hanson, a substantial developer in the Notting Hill and
Holland Park area. He built
Campden Hill Square. Aubrey Road was originally designed as a service road for the houses on the west side of
Campden Hill Square.
Hanson sold much of the land to James Hora, a surgeon, in 1841. Hora died shortly afterwards but his widow employed Henry Wyatt, an architect, to carry out the development. Wyatt built six villas between 1843 and 1847. These were originally called Aubrey Villas, but are now numbered 1-6 Aubrey Road.
