Swain's Lane

Swain's Lane is a street in Highgate in the London Borough of Camden.

Its northern end terminates on South Grove close to Pond Square in the heart of old Highgate village.

It is first mentioned in 1481 as providing access to nearby fields in the then rural area outside the capital.

The first recorded habitation was in 1609 and by 1801 it featured a dozen cottages known as Swaine's Row.
