In 1931 the Child Welfare Centres, formerly located in the Baptist Hall in Church Road and the Mission Hall in Palmerston Road moved to new premises built in Avenue Road.
August 2012: The site is now occupied by Avenue House, an uninspiring building set well back from the road, which is currently the Community Mental Health Resource Centre run by the West London Mental Health NHS Trust.

January 2015: Melrose Nursery School now occupies the hall.
St Gabriel's Church, on the corner of Balfour Road, opened in 1931 as one of the 40 'new churches for London'. The church complex was only partially built - in particular, planned halls and offices on its north side were never built. "A very small part of the proposed hall complex was built, consisting of lavatories and a kitchen, plus two small meeting rooms and associated storerooms. To this was added, at a later date, a small wooden hall. The whole complex is currently let to a nursery school."
