The southern part was originally called Barrow's Walk, and Marloes Road itself has a "somewhat confusing history".[1]
St Mary Abbots Hospital was built there in 1871 and operated as a hospital until its demolition in 1992, when it was replaced with blocks of flats,[1] which form part of the Kensington Green private gated-community on eight acres of land.
In 1939, the soldier, literary agent and publisher Neville Armstrong and his wife were living at no. 17.
