The mews consists of 46 residential properties, originally built as stables for Hyde Park Gardens, on a cobbled road with two entrances.

The mews is entered by Clarendon Place at the west and Stanhope Terrace to the east.

The mews is believed to have been designed by John Crake, built from 1836 to 1840 in conjunction with his Hyde Park Gardens development.

[1] Bridget Cherry, writing in the 1991 London: North West edition of the Pevsner Architectural Guides, describes the mews as the "most extensive survival" of the "original service buildings to support such grand establishments".
