Cornwall Gardens, Garden square in South Kensington, London, England.
Cornwall Gardens extends as a long garden square with surrounding Grade II listed Victorian buildings and established trees along its perimeter.
The land evolved from two copyholds of Earl's Court manor in the sixteenth century to become a market garden purchased by John Broadwood in early 1800s.
The residential buildings around Cornwall Gardens reflect the Victorian architectural style, with groups of structures systematically listed for preservation.
The garden committee manages the space through resident levies collected within council tax payments for maintaining the grounds and facilities.
A Penfold pillar box from the 1860s stands on the north side of the gardens, marking a preserved element of British postal heritage.
