This area of Haverstock Hill is re-inventing itself as Steele's Village after Sir Richard Steele, the essayist and co-founder of "The Spectator", who stayed in one of the only houses on the Chalcot Estate in 1712 to evade his creditors. The cottage was subsequently renamed Steele's Cottage. The Cottage was demolished in 1867 and replaced by 1870 by a 'very respectable row of shops' in Haverstock Hill and by the new Steele's Road which was pushed through from Haverstock Hill to Fellows Road. Richard Steele was obviously well thought of in the area as at the end of these shops you can see the public house named after him, see Image
