*************

Bayswater Road is the main road running along the northern edge of Hyde Park in London.[1] Originally part of the A40 road, it is now designated part of the A402 road.

In the east, Bayswater Road originates at Marble Arch roadway at the Marble Arch junction,[2] and at its western end it continues into Notting Hill Gate. It is mostly within the City of Westminster but a small portion of the road's western end lies in Kensington and Chelsea.

History

The road is part of the Via Trinobantia, an old Roman Road, later becoming a turnpike road.[1] It had become known as Bayswater Road by the 1860s.[3] The Swan Inn and Black Lion are both on Bayswater Road and were both established in the 18th century.[1] In 1861, George Francis Train experimented with a horse tramway system on Bayswater Road.[4]

Cultural references

J. M. Barrie lived at No. 100 Bayswater Road from 1902 to 1909, where he wrote Peter Pan.[1] The street is where the fictional upper-middle class Forsyte family live in John Galsworthy's The Forsyte Saga.

The Bayswater Road Art Show takes place every Sunday. It is the largest regular open-air art exhibition in the world.[4]
