Mill Hill is a street in Barnes, London, England. Mill Hill is effectively an enclave of eleven large houses on the site of a former windmill, surrounded by Barnes Common.

Mill Hill is the most elevated location in Barnes, and a windmill stood on the site from at least 1443 until the 19th century. [1] In 1780, a hurricane destroyed the Post Mill, and in 1783 the new Smock Mill replaced it. [2] In 1812, the Italian servant who assassinated Louis-Alexandre de Launay, comte d'Antraigues, and his wife at their nearby home in Barnes Terrace was buried nearby. [2]

In 1836, the mill was demolished by the Yewd family to allow for housing development. [2] The houses date from the 19th century, apart from Mill Hill Lodge, part of which is the miller's 18th-century cottage. [1]

Mill Hill is effectively an enclave of eleven large houses surrounded by Barnes Common, and three of the houses are Grade II listed: The Mill Hill, [3] Mill Hill Lodge [4] and Mulberry Lodge. [5]

In 1902, the sister of Frederick Roberts, 1st Earl Roberts was living at Mill Hill. [2] In 1912, The Mill Hill was home to a Mrs Eykyn. [6]
