Thurloe Square, Garden square in South Kensington, London, United Kingdom.
The square features a central garden enclosed by Grade II listed Victorian terraced houses facing the Victoria and Albert Museum across Thurloe Place.
George Basevi designed and developed the square from 1840 in collaboration with the Alexander family, creating a residential enclave near cultural institutions.
The Kazakhstan Embassy occupies number 33, formerly the residence of Sir Henry Cole, the first director of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The gardens remain private, accessible only to residents of surrounding properties, with South Kensington Underground station located within 200 meters.
House number 5 stands out for its unusual wedge shape, measuring only six feet at its narrowest point while maintaining full height.
