The Park Crescent West ice well is a 9.5m deep underground brick structure in the City of Westminster, London, England.
[1] It is situated in the City of Westminster between the John Nash properties of Park Crescent West and buildings on Portland Place.
[1][2] An above-ground entranceway, 1.3m wide and roofed with Yorkstone slabs, provided access to the chamber by means of a timber door.
[3] His customers included coffee houses, inns, clubs, fishmongers and pastry chefs; he also sold his own ice-based confectionery.
[4] The well was covered over during the construction of mews on the site in the mid-to-late 19th century and brick walls were laid on top of it.
[4] It was described as part of the mews property leased for use as a garage as late as 1952 but was lost by 1961 when it was briefly uncovered during construction works before being covered over once more with rubble.
[3] The site was being redeveloped in 2014 as part of a £500 million scheme by Great Marlborough Estates, and they commissioned a survey by the Museum of London Archaeology.
[1][2] It was also found that part of the London Underground's Jubilee Line passes beneath the eastern portion of the well.
