Cadogan Square, Victorian residential square in Knightsbridge, United Kingdom
Cadogan Square is a residential square in Knightsbridge with four to five-story townhouses dating from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The buildings surround a private central garden and display ornate stone facades with columns, bay windows, and decorative moldings.
The square developed between 1877 and 1888 on the former grounds of the Prince's Club, with designs by architects William Young and J.J. Stevenson. This transformation turned a leisure facility into an affluent residential neighborhood.
Sussex House School, established in 1952, operates within the square in a building crafted by architect Norman Shaw, adding educational value to the residential setting.
This square is residential and not open to the public, with the central garden reserved for residents only and not visible from the street. You can walk around the perimeter to view the exterior facades and architecture.
American war correspondent Martha Gellhorn maintained her residence in this square until 1998, marking it as a notable address for international figures.
