Redcliffe Square, nestled in the prestigious Boltons Conservation Area of Chelsea, is a peaceful and scenic town square known for its rich historical character and lush, meticulously maintained gardens and its Victorian and Second Empire-style mansion blocks. [1] It is located in the Brompton area of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, southwest of central London, (postcode SW10).[2][3] Redcliffe Square Gardens are located in the square.[4] The development was part of the vast Gunter estate, during 1864–1878.[5]
Redcliffe Gardens runs northwest–southeast through the square. To the east is The Boltons. To the southwest is Brompton Cemetery.
The square is home to St Luke's Church, Redcliffe Gardens and Redcliffe School's early years and pre-prep school.
The Square is home to celebrities like Hugh Grant and Pippa Middleton, sister of Catherine, Princess of Wales. In the north part of the square there is the Princess Diana of Wales garden, surrounded by Colherne Court, where Diana, Princess of Wales lived before marrying King Charles III. [6]
