Lancaster Gate is a mid-19th century development in the Bayswater district of central London,[1] immediately to the north of Kensington Gardens.

It consists of two long terraces of houses overlooking the park, with a wide gap between them opening onto a square containing a church.

Until 1865 the terraces were known as Upper Hyde Park Gardens, with the name Lancaster Gate limited to the square surrounding the church.

The church was one of the best-known in London, but when dry rot was discovered in the roof the decision was taken to demolish most of the building and redevelop the site.

For many years, the headquarters of The Football Association were located in Lancaster Gate and the term was often used as a metonym for the organisation, but it later relocated to Soho Square and is now based at Wembley Stadium.
