Addison Road〔(Addison Road Guide — Holland Park, London W14 ), (LondonTown.com ).〕 is a road in London, England, which connects Kensington High Street with Notting Hill and Holland Park Avenue and runs nearby to Holland Park. == History and residents == The name of the road derives from the essayist and statesman Joseph Addison (1672–1719), as with Addison Avenue nearby.〔(Addison Avenue, W14 ), ''(The London Encyclopaedia )'', Pan MacMillan / (Britain Express ).〕 The road was begun in the 1820s. The church of St Barnabas at No. 23 was built in 1829, designed by Lewis Vulliamy in a Tudor Gothic style,〔(The Church of St. Barnabas, Addison Road ), In "The Holland estate: Since 1874", ''Survey of London: volume 37: Northern Kensington'', pp. 126–150.
