Abercorn Place

[2][3] It was part of an estate originally owned by Harrow School of which Abercorn was a governor with other nearby streets similarly named.

[5][6][7] The Anglican St Mark's Church was built in 1847 at the intersection with Hamilton Terrace.

[8] In 1908 a proposed extension of the Bakerloo Line would have seen a station called Abercorn Place built at the junction with Edgware Road, but this was rejected.

When the line was extended in 1915, on a different route, the station was placed a little to the west on Elgin Avenue and renamed Maida Vale.

Residents of the street have included the artist Charles Robert Leslie, the writer Christopher Sclater Millard and the actress Ingeborg von Kusserow.
