Wellington Square, Chelsea

It was built in the first decades of the nineteenth century on the former site of a nursery owned by the florist and "well-known tulip-fancier"[1] Thomas Davey and named after the Duke of Wellington.

The square is named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, and is a cul-de-sac consisting of 35 five-storey terraced stucco houses built in the early to mid-nineteenth century.

[5][6] Huelin was assistant chaplain at Brompton Cemetery and a prominent local property owner and landlord, who lived nearby at 15 Paultons Square.

According to Fleming's biographer and friend John Pearson, Bond probably lived in Wellington Square, possibly at number 30.

[7] This view of a Wellington Square residence is shared by the author William Boyd, who wrote an article on the subject for The Times Literary Supplement in 2020, "The spies who lived here: How I found James Bond’s precise address", but after extensive research concluded that Bond lived at number 25, not number 30.
