Houses at the Paddington end of Westbourne Park Road date from the 1850s.

The house called Westbourne Park and its grounds made way for large semidetached villas in Westbourne Park Road and, beside the railway, Westbourne Park Villas. The layout of Westbourne Park Road dates from an earlier period - its bend is clearly shown on Rocque’s map from the 1750s.

Fields survived between Westbourne Park Road and Newton Road in 1851 but had been covered with modest terraces by 1855.
