Ovington Square

It lies between Brompton Road to the north-west (reached via Ovington Gardens) and Walton Street to the south-east.

[1] The freehold property on which the square is built was owned by Frederick, Baron von Zandt of Würzburg, Germany, and after his death was developed in 1844 by his widow, Elizabeth Standerwick, of Ovington House in Hampshire.

[2][3][4][5][6] The green itself was secured soon after development, protected under the 1851 Garden Square Act[which?]

Responsibility for the garden passed to trustees following a settlement made by Sir John Swinnerton Dyer in 1912.
