Elgin Crescent

79 Elgin Crescent, home of Sir Osbert Lancaster

Elgin Crescent is a street in Notting Hill, London, England.

It runs west from Portobello Road, crosses Ladbroke Grove and at its south-western end joins Clarendon Road. The section between Portobello Road and Kensington Park Road is formed of shops, cafes and restaurants, whilst the remainder is residential.[1]

The houses were built in the 1850s and 1860s, and most share communal gardens. Many are now listed buildings. East of Ladbroke Grove, it was originally called Elgin Road.[1] It is named after the town of Elgin in Scotland.
