Ladbroke Grove

Seen here at its southern end, Ladbroke Grove stretches through Notting Hill and North Kensington eventually to Harrow Road. Perhaps because it is referenced in Van Morrison's much-loved album 'Astral Weeks', it has something of an iconic status - or maybe it is remembered for the serious rail crash of 1999. The name derives from Richard Ladbrooke (sic) who owned land here in the 17th century and whose family sold it for house building in 1845. There is not much traffic in this sunny Sunday morning view although a cyclist hurries past along Holland Park Avenue.
