Little Green Street off Highgate Road in Kentish Town is one of only a few intact Georgian streets in London.

Most of the dozen houses were built in the 1780s, are Grade ll listed, and both survived the Blitz and more than two hundred years of wear and tear from the generations who have raised their children in the narrow cobbled terrace.

The street, only 2.5m wide has been under a very real threat of being turned into a truck route which would see a vehicle pass within inches of the front doors of these homes every three minutes, all day every day for up to four years down this delicate cul-de-sac.

Why 'has been'? The developer's constructional (sic) methodology statement has been rejected, but they have the right to appeal. Keep checking the latest at the blog from time to time. Thanks for your interest.
