Kings Cross Road has a surprising and romantic history from the 20th back to the 17th century, from Princess Diana back to Nell Gwynn, with highwaymen and fashionable spa gardens in between.

In the 17th century the area was largely open fields. Nell Gwynn owned a house on the site called “Bagnigge House” where she entertained King Charles II. In the 18th century “health giving waters” were discovered in the gardens and a spa was opened frequented by everyone, from the fashionable to ruffians and highwaymen. In the 19th century the spa went into decline and it was closed in 1841. Not long after this the site was redeveloped and the current terrace of houses including this home.Princess Diana was a frequent visitor to the house as patron of the preschool charity which occupied the building in the late 20th century, and planted the garden – the last survivor of this is the magnificent magnolia tree.
