Noel Park was the third of five estates in London to be built by the Artisans', Labourers' and General Dwellings Company (A.L.& G.D.Co). The 100 acre site, once Dovecote Farm, was purchased by the company in 1882 for £56,345. Building was largely completed by 1907, although a further spurt of building, in a different style, took place in the 1920s.

On completion, the estate numbered more than 2,000, houses with a density of 27 houses per acre. It also included Cheapside shopping parade, and the Empire Theatre.

The architect of the original estate was Roland Plumbe. His style included terraces with ornate porches, decorative brickwork, and occasional gables and corner turrets, feature in a mixture of Gothic and Jolly Queen Ann revivals. There is an overall harmony of design within the estate, but each Avenue and Road is different, having its own unique identity.
