This very elegant square, north of Hyde Park, is surrounded on the north and part of the south side by original stucco-fronted houses of pleasing proportions, dating from 1860. The garden has different moods, from more formal planting to naturalistic sections. A rich and diverse selection of plants includes many unusual shrubs, trees and herbaceous perennials, whilst retaining some of the original and impressive London Plane trees. This is a private square for the sole use of the residents of the houses and flats around it - a haven of peace close to the bustling Edgware Road and busy Paddington station.
Second largest garden in the Hyde Park Estate, surrounded by an eclectic mix of original Italianate white stucco townhouses, and more recent developments by 20th Century modernist architects.
