Talgarth Road in West London, view towards Hammersmith

Talgarth Road is a dual carriageway in The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and is a designated part of the A4, running through West London, England on the road to Heathrow Airport. It starts in Earl's Court, and runs past West Kensington and Barons Court tube stations, and the Ark and West London Courthouse, before ending at Hammersmith Broadway, where a Flyover continues the A4.

History

In 1891, eight terraced houses designed by the architect Frederick Wheeler and notable for their double-story windows were constructed along the road; their intended purpose to inspire artists. Notable residents have included English ballerina Margot Fonteyn and the Irish writer Ernest Gébler.[1]

In 2003, the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art moved to 155 Talgarth Road, which had previously been the site of the Royal Ballet School since 1947.
