Clarence Gate Gardens

Clarence Gate Gardens comprises seven-storey mansion blocks in Marylebone with red brick facades, Dutch gables, and continuous bay windows that rise the full height of the buildings. Individual entrances feature ionic columns and Art Nouveau door handles, while wrought iron balconies line the Glentworth Street elevation.

These mansion blocks were built between 1905 and 1910 during the Edwardian period as residences for affluent households. They gained Grade II listed status in 1978 as part of the Dorset Square Conservation Area, recognizing their architectural value.

The name comes from a historic gate that once belonged to a nearby grand house. The uniform red brick facades and distinctive architectural features shape how this Marylebone street feels to those who walk past.

A celebrated literary figure composed one of his most famous works while living in these blocks, and the location later appeared in a well-known film production. The residents have maintained a tight-knit community association since 1968, eventually taking ownership of the entire property.
