THE GROVE ~

Located at the junction of West Hill and South Grove, this expensive strip is set back from the reservoir.

Nos 1 and 2 formed the Mrs. Gallatly ladies' school, The Grove, 1885/6.

No. 2 was also the home of famous actress, Gladys Cooper (1888-1971) and also Sir Yehudi Menuhin until 1983.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge lived at No. 3 (see separate page)

Once called Highgate Green, it then became Pemberton Row, in the mid 17th century.

The Grove stretches from the top of West Hill to Hampstead Lanwe.

The first six houses have Tudor origins and their gardens are on two levels.

Roger Fry was born at number 6, John Drinkwater lived at number 9.

(Sir Roger Fry (1866-1934), one of the Bloomsbury group of artists)
