Randolph Avenue

The street was part of an ambitious plan for the area laid out by the architect George Gutch in the 1820s to accommodate the expanding population of the capital.

The southern end of the road features white stucco terraces but these give way to brick-fronted buildings further north including redbrick mansion blocks.

Maida Vale tube station was opened in 1915 at the junction of the street and Elgin Avenue and is now Grade II listed.

[3][4][5][6] Notable residents of the street have included the painter Eliza Anne Leslie-Melville and the illustrator John Tenniel.

[7] Tenniel's residence had a blue plaque, placed by the London County Council, on it from 1930 until 1959 when the house was demolished for redevelopment.
