Craven Hill Gardens, Garden square in City of Westminster, England

The garden square forms two half-green rectangles enclosed by Victorian residential buildings with high terraces displaying ornamental brickwork and stucco facades along three streets.

The land belonged to Lord Craven, who purchased it in 1733 when it was agricultural terrain, and by 1811 the district attracted literary figures including poet Sarah Flower Adams.

The gardens reflect Victorian urban planning principles with residential properties surrounding communal green spaces, creating a characteristic London neighborhood environment.

Located near Paddington Station and multiple tube stops, the square contains 114 residential units, primarily consisting of 79 purpose-built flats and 28 converted apartments.

Kenneth Frampton designed Corringham at numbers 13-15, which includes a secondary private garden separate from the main communal green space at 21-23 Craven Hill.
