Stanford Villas, Kensington
Four smart villas divided into semis, and dating from 1851-2. "George Smith Stredder built fifteen houses, which were a mixture of detached and semi-detached, known as Stanford Villas." http://www.barrettssolicitors.co.uk/Kensington/streets/stanford_road.htm . "They have stock-brick fronts neatly outlined with continuous bands of diamond relief quoins and deep bands of frieze, now lacking eaves brackets and ground-floor window entablatures for all but Nos. 32–34. The arched-headed doors with pilastered cases are set well back from the road".

Stripe tease, South End
The owner went for this interesting look apparently to get back at neighbours who had objected to her application to demolish the building and replace with a new house including a two-storey basement. Since it stands in a conservation area, Kensington and Chelsea Council has since demanded she return it to its original state.
The trend of excavating basements (creating so-called "iceberg homes") among London's super-rich has reached such a scale in K&C that the council has recently limited them to a single storey and banned them altogether from listed buildings.
