Bacon's Lane
Highgate, N6.
As this is the next turning off South Grove after Swains (or swine's) lane, it's tempting to make the association with pigs. This is, of course, a complete irrelevance and the name actually relates to Sir Francis Bacon who died in nearby Arundel House in 1626.
See Francis Bacon & The 2nd Earl of Arundel and 'Highgate: Part 1 of 2', Old and New London: Volume 5 (1878), pp. 389-405 in British History Online
