Houses in Pilgrim's Lane
The up-market villas in this quiet Hampstead road off Rosslyn Hill have been home to a number of people well-known in the literary/artistic world.
According to LinkExternal link the street was originally called Worsley Road but when the labour politician Michel Foot was resident he "got the name of his street, Worsley Road in Hampstead, changed to Pilgrim's Lane in 1969. He used complaints about confusion at the post office over addresses in NW3 to convince neighbours the street should get a brand new name, something more poetical. He kept it quiet until after the switch had been made that his street would now share the nickname of his favourite football team, the Pilgrims." (Michael Foot lived in Hampstead for 43 years. My brother often met him walking on the Heath.)
