From the junction with Meadway, Hampstead Way continues to run northwards along the western slope of the central hill. Hill Close provides pedestrian access to South Square and is a particularly attractive group of houses on the hillside. Number 36 Hampstead Way, with its half-hipped roof, is by Dawber, 2 Hill Close is a small asymmetrical cottage designed for himself by F J Watson Hart, numbers 4-6 are an admirably restrained white pair by Fred Rowntree (a Quaker architect showing the Quaker virtues), while numbers 3-5 opposite are a close derivation from Voysey by Michael Bunney. Number 40 Hampstead Way is a delightful L-shaped house, tall and upstanding, designed in 1909 by T Lawrence Dale (who afterwards practised in Oxford). It neatly anchors the angle of the junction between Hampstead Way and Willifield Way, with plaster pargetting to the central gable.
