English Heritage

Heaviside lived here 1863-8 and 1874-6.

Site: Oliver Heaviside (1 memorial)

NW1, Camden Street, 123

When the Heaviside family lived here the address was 117 Camden Street. Their move here from another, much less desirable home, also in Camden, was made possible by a small legacy.

We thank our colleague Alan Patient for providing our photographs.
