Ladbroke Grove - Region Background and Development

Due to Ladbroke Grove proximity to Notting Hill, the rise of Notting Hill has also led to the rise of the Ladbroke Grove area. There are many large Victorian houses and slightly smaller Edwardian houses on the river bank in the Ladbroke Grove area. The purchase price of Ladbroke Grove is about 1.25 million pounds, and the rental price is about 3,400 pounds per month. The 170-acre Ladbroke estate was agricultural land until the 1820s, providing rental income to the landowners. In 1819, James Weller Ladbroke began to develop farmland into dwellings in response to the growing population of London. After 50 years of hard work, the entire residential area was built. He hired a building surveyor, Thomas Allason, to design the residential area. A north-south street (now Ladbroke Grove) divides the residential area into two, with a series of streets and 16 public gardens on both sides, and a beautiful garden in the middle. Stucco or semi-stucco houses, mainly townhouses or semi-detached villas, with very beautiful vistas.
