Hyde Park Square

Hyde Park Square is a residential, tree-planted, garden square one block north of Hyde Park fronted by classical buildings, many of which are listed and marks a crossover of Lancaster Gate and Connaught Village neighbourhoods of Bayswater, London. It measures (internally) 200 by 500 feet, of which the bulk is the private communal garden – the rest is street-lit, pavemented streets with low railings in front of the houses. Connaught Street runs eastwards from the square towards the Edgware Road.

History and layout

The square was part of "Tyburnia"[1] planned in 1827 by Samuel Pepys Cockerell for the then semi-rural prime holding of the diocese controlled by the Bishop of London but was laid out to a modified plan by his successor George Gutch.

Aside from an approach street or road at its four corners it marks the end of:

  • Clarendon Place, a broad-pavemented 156-metre approach road, and
  • Connaught Street, which features high street services, coffee shops and restaurants, including Connaught Village.

Numbering runs in one set for each side, anticlockwise, from south-east:

  • 1, 2
  • 10 (large), 13 to 20A, 21 (co-fronts and shared building with 43 & 43A Gloucester Square);
  • 22 to 24
  • 30 to 37 (37 being a shared building with 8 Clarendon Place), 38 to 47 (slightly below average in their frontage width).

The square measures, internally, Шаблон:Convert by Шаблон:Convert, of which the bulk is the private communal garden – the rest is street-lit, pavemented streets with low railings in front of the houses.
