Hexham Road is on the large St Helier Estate, built between 1928 and 1936 by the then London County Council (LCC), on land formerly owned by Westminster Abbey, for the re-housing of people from run-down inner London areas. The estate was named in honour of Lady St Helier, who was an LCC Alderman from 1910 to 1927. To commemorate the area's historic ownership, the roads are named in alphabetical order after Monasteries and Abbeys starting in the north-west with Aberconway Road and ending with Woburn Road in the south-east. All the road names on this particular area of the estate begin with the letters G (Garendon and Glastonbury) or H (Halesowen, Hartland, Hexham, and Hunston) or I (Iona) or K (Keynsham and Kirksted).
