[1] Daniel O'Neill, an Irish Cavalier in the English Civil Wars, was granted Belsize House by Charles II following the Restoration in 1660.

[2] After 1720, Belsize became a place of public entertainment to cater to the growing traffic heading towards the fashionable Hampstead Wells.

[4] It was demolished in 1853 and replaced by a series of streets of white stucco residences to provide upmarket housing for the expanding population of the city.

The old house stood close to what is now St Peter's Church on Belsize Square and faced eastwards.

What was once the old elm-lined approach to the house is now Belsize Avenue which heads east to Haverstock Hill.
