Numbers 1 to 10 are Grade II* Listed Buildings,[1] as is the northernmost house in the terrace, which has the address of Canning St around the corner.

It was originally planned that the entire row would be built in a single style but construction was halted in the slump of 1837, and the demand for large city houses declined as the middle class moved out to the new suburbs.

John Lennon of The Beatles lived at 3 Gambier Terrace in 1960 with former Beatles bassist Stuart Sutcliffe after Sutcliffe asked the others who lived there, including fellow student and future well-known artist Margaret Chapman if the homeless Lennon could move in.

The large number of students and artists living there lead to a reporter from The Sunday People paying a visit for a story headlined "This is the Beatnik Horror", inadvertently including the first known published photograph of John Lennon.

The exact status of this land is unclear except that it is a public thoroughfare and unadopted by the City Council's highways department.
