Originally part of the manor of Barnsbury, in the 15th century a moated farmhouse was situated towards the eastern end of Tufnell Park Road. In 1754, one William Tufnell inherited the manor, bestowing the area with its name.
The area was known for its dairy farms until the early 19th century but in 1822 the Tufnells sought permission to grant building leases and created Tufnell Park Road two years later. Other roads were named after branches of the extended family.
The manor’s brick and stone gateposts survive on either side of Tufnell Park Road, just east of the junction with Lady Margaret Road.
Most of the terraced houses were built in the 1850s and 1860s, often with separate gabled roofs to make them look like semi-detached houses. Only two architects were employed throughout the project but they built adventurously, differentiating each street and sometimes every villa within a street. Façades were often plain but imaginatively ornamented, especially around the windows. Many of the surviving houses are now locally listed.
Tufnell Park station opened in 1907 on the newly built Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway, making the area instantly more attractive and convenient to professionals and city workers.
These days, Tufnell Park is a thriving inner-city suburb, popular with young families, being extremely well-served with outstanding schools. The rolling acres of Hampstead Heath are within a short walk, or run, giving endless family recreational opportunities.
