Gloucester Crescent is an 1840s Victorian residential crescent in Camden Town in London which from the early 1960s gained a bohemian reputation as “the trendiest street in London” and "Britain's cleverest street"[1] when it became home for many British writers, artists and intellectuals including Jonathan Miller, George Melly, Alan Bennett and Alice Thomas Ellis.[2][3][4][5]
It runs off the nearby Oval Road. Many of the homes on the crescent are Grade II listed buildings including no. 23,[6] the terraces nos. 3 to 22[7] and 24 to 29,[8] and nos. 60 and 61.[9]
The London branch of the School of Sound Recording is located in The Rotunda at 42 Gloucester Crescent.
