The Boltons is a street and garden square of lens shape in the Brompton district of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London, England (postcode SW10).[1][2] The opposing sides of the street face the communal gardens (as two non-semicircular crescents) with large expansive houses and gardens, in what is considered the second most expensive street in the country with an average house price of £23.1m.[3][4] The elliptical central gardens of the Boltons are Grade II listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.[5]
