W11
Takes its name from essayist and statesman Joseph Addison who once lived at Holland House. Tree-lined and with a vista closed by the church of St James, Norlands, the road dates from the early 1840s. The attractive two-storey paired houses were built to various designs, those in the northern part of the road probably being designed by F.W. Stent.
