IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Kenway Road, LONDON, SW5 0RE

A nice quiet little side street off of Earls Court Road.

Opposite one side of The King's Head pub - behind the photographer - is the 'open' end of Wallgrave Road (a cul-de-sac). The painting of the angel pouring water into a tiered fountain is on the side of 35 Kenway Road, a 3-storey terrace, built c.1807. Willie Rushton lived on Wallgrave Road.

This is the 1937 'rebuilt' version of The King's Head public house. Records however, show that the earliest version of it was established in the C17th century. The area in front of the pub is known locally as Hogarth Place although the road on the right hand side of it - and the remainder of it that continues onwards behind the photographer - is Kenway Road. A narrow thoroughfare on the left of it provides pedestrians with access to Hogarth Road.

This pub at the junction of Kenway Road and Hogarth Place, just off Earl's Court Road, has been a Fullers pub since 2015 when it was acquired from Faucet Inns. Note the signs depicting George V in a postage stamp style. There have been licensed premises here since the 17th century but the pub was rebuilt in 1937. See Image for how it looked before it came into Fullers ownership.

A view towards the 'closed' end of this cul-de-sac. A plaque above one of the lamps on the front wall of one of the houses on the left, marks the house where Willie Rushton (1937-96), the English cartoonist, satirist, comedian, actor and performer - who co-founded the satirical magazine Private Eye - once lived.

A view towards the 'open' end of this cul-de-sac. A plaque above one of the lamps on the front wall of a house on the right marks the house where Willie Rushton (1937-96), the English cartoonist, satirist, comedian, actor and performer - who co-founded the satirical magazine Private Eye - once lived. Wallgrave Road joins Kenway Road, within a minute's walk.

With the A3220 (Earl's Court Road) behind the photographer, this is the mid-point along Kenway Road. Once past the side of The King's Head pub - on the right - the road broadens out in front of the pub forming an area known locally as Hogarth Place, despite the fact that it is actually part of Kenway Road. The painting of the angel pouring water into a tiered fountain is on the side of No. 35 Kenway, Road, a 3-storey terrace built c.1807. The road branching off to the left is Wallgrave Road, where Willie Rushton once lived.

With The King's Head pub behind the photographer's left shoulder this a view along Kenway Road with the A3220 (i.e.Earl's Court Road) ahead. Wallgrave Road, where Willie Rushton - the English cartoonist, satirist, comedian, actor and performer, who co-founded the satirical magazine Private Eye once lived, is visible on the right.
