Pelham Crescent, Garden square in South Kensington, England.
Pelham Crescent spans 27 symmetrical houses with white plaster exteriors, supported by detailed columns and featuring private first-floor balconies.
George Basevi Jr designed this residential development between 1832 and 1840 after local nurserymen declared bankruptcy, leading to the transformation of Smith's Charity Estate.
The garden square holds two commemorative blue plaques: one for actor Nigel Playfair at number 26 and another for French politician Francois Guizot at number 21.
The 0.4345-hectare private communal gardens require special keys for access, with maintenance costs covered through key sales to residents.
The crescent houses connect through single-story extensions at both ends, creating a continuous architectural flow while maintaining individual property distinctions.
