Hanover Terrace

Hanover Terrace overlooks Regent's Park in City of Westminster, London, England.

[2] It has a centre and two wing buildings, of the Doric order, the acroterion, above which statues and other sculptural decorations of terracotta are erected.

The centre building is crowned by a well proportioned pediment, the tympanum of which is embellished with statues and figures.

[3] During the Second World War, the Nash buildings around the park, including Hanover Terrace, fell into what one newspaper called "a sad state of neglect … caused by bombing and the ravages of time".

[10] Other well-known residents of the terrace included Edmund Gosse,[11] the soldier Sir Alexander Bryce, the dancer Adeline Genée, the shipowner and philanthropist Richard Green, the MP Samuel Gurney, the shipping and aviation magnate Sir Samuel Instone, the publisher Thomas Longman, the missionary Irene Petrie, the racecourse owner Mirabel Topham, the artist Feliks Topolski, the playwright Harold Pinter, the historian Lady Antonia Fraser and the architect Sir Aston Webb.
