Tyburnia

Tyburnia is an area in Paddington, London, originally developed following an 1824 masterplan drawn up by Samuel Pepys Cockerell (1753–1827) to redevelop the historic lands of the Bishop of London, known as the Tyburn Estate, into a residential area to rival Belgravia.

[1] The area called Tyburnia has varied over time and it was never finished according to the original plan but it is certainly bounded by Edgware Road in the east and Bayswater Road and Hyde Park Place in the south.

Sussex Gardens provides the main axis of the area, off which other streets run.

The district formed the centrepiece of an 1824 masterplan by Samuel Pepys Cockerell to redevelop the historic lands of the Bishop of London, known as the Tyburn Estate,[3] into a residential area to rival Belgravia.

[5] The area was laid out in the mid-1800s when grand squares and cream-stuccoed terraces started to fill the acres between Paddington station and Hyde Park; however, the plans were never realised in full.
