Kensington Court Gardens, Victorian apartment building in Kensington, England
Kensington Court Gardens is a residential complex featuring elegant Victorian-era architecture spread across multiple levels in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The building is organized around a central courtyard garden with period details typical of late 1800s London residential blocks.
The building was completed between 1887 and 1889 by the architectural firm Moir, Wallis and Company on land that previously held the Vallotton estate. Its construction coincided with a period of significant residential development in the Kensington area.
The property attracted numerous military officers in the 1890s, including General Alexander Silver and Major-General James Black as early residents.
The building sits within easy walking distance of public transportation, shops, and restaurants throughout central London. From this location, you can easily reach Kensington Palace, nearby museums, and other attractions in the neighborhood.
The renowned poet and literary critic T.S. Eliot lived here from 1957 until his death in 1965, during which time he completed some of his later works. His residence sits quietly within this Victorian residential complex as part of the building's cultural history.
