Wilton Crescent, Grade II listed garden square in City of Westminster, England
Wilton Crescent is a curved street lined with grand townhouses clad in Portland stone and centered around a private communal garden. The elegant crescent shape connects Belgrave Square to Wilton Place, creating a contained and harmonious composition.
Thomas Cundy II designed this as the northern extension of Belgravia in 1821, adding to the planned development of this affluent district. The project formed part of the systematic expansion of the neighborhood during the early 1800s.
The street has long attracted the wealthy and powerful, with its name honoring Thomas Egerton, the second Earl of Wilton. You can sense this prominence as you walk past the grand facades that reflect the status of those who have called this place home.
The area is easily reached on foot from Hyde Park Corner, with the tube station providing the best public transportation option. The private nature of the garden means visitors mainly enjoy the street and its facades from the public sidewalk.
The houses were originally built in brick during the 1820s but underwent complete stone cladding between 1908 and 1912. This major facade renovation transformed the street's appearance and gave it the refined look you see today.
