Elgin Avenue is a street in Maida Vale in London. Located in the City of Westminster, it runs east to west from the A5 road close to Maida Vale tube station west to the Maida Hill area where it meets the Harrow Road. Sutherland Avenue runs roughly parallel to the south and is connected to Elgin Avenue by Lauderdale Road. The road continues east of the A5 as Abercorn Place which runs through St. John's Wood. The area was built as part of the rapid expansion of London in the first half of the nineteenth century. It was laid out as part of a plan for the area by the architect George Gutch in 1827, who envisaged a series of long avenues. While isolated villas were built from the 1820s, it was not for several decades that the street was completed. It was known as Elgin Road until 1886, and takes its name from the Lord Elgin Arms public house. Later in the century many of the original villas were replaced by mansion blocks. In 1915 the new Maida Vale tube station was opened as part of an extension of the Bakerloo Line north from Paddington. It is located on the corner of the junction of Elgin Avenue and Randolph Avenue and is Grade II listed and was designed by Stanley Heaps. It was originally proposed to name the station Elgin Avenue, but Maida Vale was ultimately chosen to reflect the wider area.The artist Edward Ardizzone lived in the street from 1920 to 1972 and is now commemorated with a blue plaque. Artist and political activist Peter Kennard was born on Elgin Avenue in Maida Vale.

Carlton Vale is a street that runs through Kilburn and Maida Vale in London. Some of its route forms the boundary between the City of Westminster to the south and the London Borough of Brent to the north. To the west the street continues as Kilburn Lane through Queen's Park, while to the east it becomes Carlton Hill running into St. John's Wood. Carlton Vale crosses or meets several roads including Kilburn Park Road, Cambridge Road and Randolph Avenue. Carlton was a popular name in the Regency era and beyond, suggesting an "ambience of elegance" linked to the Carlton House residence of the Prince Regent. The street was developed in the mid-nineteenth century and was originally known as Carlton Road. Most of the original buildings were Victorian, although few survive today. The Anglo-Catholic St. Augustine's Church was built just north of Carlton Vale to serve the growing population of the area. To the south of the street is Paddington Recreation Ground. The street suffered heavily from German bombing during the Second World War, and was rebuilt in the postwar era with modernist buildings. Particularly notable is the South Kilburn estate. The Carlton Tavern pub was built in the 1920s by the Charrington Brewery. Demolished in 2015 shortly before it was about to be listed, it was rebuilt in its original form and reopened in 2021.
