Site: Tufnell Park Road - Listed (1 memorial)

N19, Tufnell Park Road, 19

9 - 21 Tufnell Park Road were listed in 1994. The listing entry says: "Detached and semi-detached houses linked to form a terrace. 1840-50." One wonders what the owners of the other 6 houses thought when the owners of number 19 unveiled their plaque. This plaque reminds us of the Approved Extension in NW1, and not in a good way.

If plaques were erected on all listed houses and on those with approved planning applications then central London would appear to be suffering an outbreak of measles.
