Addison Place, W11

Addison Place is a part-cobbled through-road between Queensdale Road (opposite Queensdale Place, a redeveloped Mews) and Addison Avenue. The Mews is part of Kensington’s Norland Conservation Area; first designated in 1969.

Addison Place contains some period houses built by James Hall over several years from 1857. He built about 120 houses in the estate in the 1850s. He also built extensively in the Chepstow Villas and Pembridge Place area.

In 1940, a high explosive bomb is recorded falling onto Royal Crescent, just south-west of the Mews.

Building of the area began in the 1840s and was completed fifteen years later.
