Historic Interest

Built-in the late 1830s by George Basevi, an architectural pupil of Sir John Soane, and named after Henry Thomas Pelham, 3rd Earl of Chichester, Pelham Crescent is one of the few surviving original crescents in central London.

Built on land that once belonged to Henry Smith’s Charity Estate, the area and its immediate surroundings is characterized by garden squares and elegant Georgian & Victorian architecture – the result of which is Conservation Area status.
