Cadogan Square is a fine example of Queen Anne revival architecture of the 1870s and 1880s favouring red brick rather than stucco, which was carried out by the Cadogan Estate and Hans Place Estate. The private communal garden has fine mature trees, areas of lawn, ornamental planting, roses, gravel paths, a rustic shelter and tennis courts. A circular planted feature has a figurative statue in its centre by David Wynne, 'Dancer with Bird', 1975 and a collection of David Austen roses. The garden suffered in the storms of 1987, losing many plane trees, and was subsequently replanted with ornamental trees. Former residents included poet John Betjeman and novelist Arnold Bennett. |
