Where to live in Bedford Park

The various streets of Bedford Park contain about 400 houses. There are some very large detached houses with up to seven bedrooms, and also terraces of smaller houses, right down to workers’ cottages. Very few of the houses have been turned into flats, and there has been a tendency in recent years to convert those that were flats back into single houses. St James’s Court in Bedford Road is a more modern flat development. Saint Catherine’s Court is a block of flats dating from the pre-War period.

Estate agents refer to “Bedford Park borders” or “West Bedford Park”, to try to include nearby streets within the cachet of Bedford Park proper. Such streets include the little roads between Bath Road and Flanders Road, such as Gainsborough Road and Lonsdale Road. There are later houses and mansion blocks in the streets north of Blenheim Road. The streets running west from the Park towards Acton Lane also contain similar houses which are not part of the Park itself.
