Markham Square, Garden square in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, United Kingdom.
Markham Square is a private garden square in the Kensington area with pathways encircling a central lawn where mature trees and ornamental plantings flourish. The entire space is overseen by a management committee responsible for ongoing maintenance and upkeep.
The square operates under the Kensington Improvement Act of 1851, legislation that established rules for garden management in this area. This historic framework continues to shape how the space is organized and maintained today.
The square takes its name from local heritage and serves today as a private gathering place for residents who tend to the plantings and pathways. It is used by people living nearby who share a common interest in keeping the green space maintained.
Access is restricted to immediate residents since this is a private space reserved solely for the community living around it. Visitors should be aware that the square is not freely open to the general public.
A management committee of three to nine elected residents holds the authority to create and enforce specific rules for this private space. This small group makes decisions that directly shape how the square is designed and used.
