4 N I N E A R K W R I G H T R O A D, H A M P S T E A D N W 3 HISTORY 9 Arkwright Road was originally built in the 1870 s as a single private residential dwelling in a late Victorian style by Sir Joseph Beecham, of Beecham s pharmaceuticals fame. A new wing was added to the property at the turn of the century under the guidance of Joseph Beecham s son, the renowned musical composer and conductor Sir Thomas Beecham to provide a large ballroom and music room which on occasion hosted royalty and high society of the time. In the 1920 s the property was converted to office use and occupied by ASLEF (the Train Drivers Union) as their office headquarters until The property now provides the opportunity to return the building to its original intended residential use.
