Duncan Terrace

A Georgian terrace facing a long ribbon of garden, with a church spire closing the view.

Terraces

The gardens along Duncan Terrace, with St John the Evangelist ahead.

Duncan Terrace and Colebrooke Row face each other across a strip of garden that is there because the New River ran down the middle of it until it was covered over in the 1860s. The houses are late Georgian, three storeys and basements with iron balconies, and they curve just enough that you cannot see the end of the row. Charles Lamb spent his last London years in the cottage at the Colebrooke Row end; the red brick church with the spire is St John the Evangelist, of 1843.
