Clabon Mews, Lennox Gardens, Lennox Gardens Mews were laid out on a former cricket field.
Between Marlborough Road (Draycott Avenue) and the eastern boundary of the local parish, only Prince’s cricket ground, belonging to the Smith’s Charity Estate, and the grounds and paddock of the Pavilion, belonging to the Cadogan Estate, remained open land in 1865.
In 1874 the Cadogan and Hans Place Improvements Act was passed, which enabled the newly-formed Cadogan and Hans Place Estate Ltd, which carried out the development on the two estates. This extended Pont Street through the unbuilt area west of Sloane Street to Walton Street and to build other new streets.
The Smith’s cricket field thus made way for Clabon Mews.
