Ansdell Terrace was previously known as St Albans Road North.
In 1878, Thomas Hussey, a Kensington builder bought No. 13 Kensington Square. He built Ansdale Terrace as a cul-de-sac on the back garden. The houses were originally occupied by servants working in the main houses and local artisans.
Nos. 18-20 and Nos. 24-27 still survive.
