The Boltons, Garden square in Brompton, London, England.

The Boltons consists of two curved residential streets facing an elliptical central garden with a church dividing the green space in half.

The land belonged to William Bolton in 1795 before James Gunter purchased it in 1807, leading to residential development in the mid-19th century.

The garden square represents Victorian urban planning principles, incorporating green spaces within residential developments to enhance city living conditions.

Houses surrounding the garden command prices averaging 23 million pounds, making it the second most expensive street in the United Kingdom.

Architect George Godwin created an unusual lens-shaped layout for the garden square, with two facing crescents forming its distinctive pattern.

Location: Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
