Leinster Square

Much of the area's war damage in the London Blitz was rapidly repaired with houses rebuilt to match the original tall terraces.

Grade II listed tall Victorian terraced houses encompass the square, which, on the Hereford Road side, features a proportion of restaurants and cafés.

The buildings have basements with black railings, slate mansard roofs, sash windows and yellow bricks with white stucco projections, pediments and dressings.

As of 2015, a string of high-end developments is taking place in the square, with new flats and townhouses built behind the façade of two former hotels.

In 1977, after a period of decline, the garden underwent refurbishment, with extensive planting that largely survives today and the restoration of its iron railings, the originals removed during the Second World War.
