London’s Alleys: Hogarth Place, SW5

The passage is also one of the oldest in the Earl’s Court part of London, appearing long before the rest of the area was developed.Earl’s Court was still largely rural in the 1800s, but the beginnings of development started appearing in the 1810s, with a small cluster of streets and houses around Hogarth Place. In 1822, the whole plot of developed houses and streets was put up for sale, with 38 houses and land producing £1,000 a year in rent for the landlord. A bargin today!
