Gospel Oak Ward is located in the centre of the northern half of the borough adjoining the fringes of Hampstead Heath/Parliament Hill. Railways define part of its northern and eastern boundaries. To the south the ward extends to Queen’s Crescent, Maldon Road and sweeps round to incorporate Upper Park Road and Downside. The ward derives its name from the custom of beating the bounds, a ceremony which included GoGossppeelll OaOOakk reading the gospel under an oak tree on Ascension Day. This gospel oak probably stood on the east side of Southampton Road where it crosses the railway line. Until the 19th century, Gospel Oak remained a rural area of pastures watered by a tributary of the River Fleet. By the middle of the 19th century, residential development had started in earnest.
