Warwick Square

Warwick Square is a Victorian garden square in Pimlico with a rectangular layout framed by elegant residential buildings. The central area features open lawns, mature plane trees, lime trees, and flowering cherries alongside ornamental shrubs and seasonal plantings.

Thomas Cubitt created this garden square in 1843 as part of his Pimlico development, transforming the area from market gardens into a residential neighborhood. The project reached completion by 1865, marking a major shift in Victorian London's urban expansion.

The square takes its name from the Earl of Warwick and reflects Victorian London's tradition of formal garden squares as community spaces. Visitors today see the carefully maintained design with its structured pathways and classical park features that shape the neighborhood's character.

The garden square can be accessed through an entrance opposite number 12 Warwick Square. Victoria and Pimlico stations are within walking distance and provide good transport connections for visitors.

Two Victorian mounds within the garden contain timber forts and hidden paths that encourage children to explore and play. These features preserve historical structures while serving modern recreational needs.
