Cadogan Square stands as one of the most coveted residential addresses within London, and it ranks among the most exclusive and pricey locations in the entire United Kingdom. The square has an enclosed garden, accessible solely to its residents, encircled by elegant red-brick houses. Over time, many of these houses have undergone transformation into flats or apartments. Positioned to the south of Pont Street, east of Lennox Gardens, and west of Sloane Street, Cadogan Square is centrally located.

Within this enclave, Hill House operates its lower, middle, and upper schools catering to boys and girls aged five to ten. The institution affectionately refers to its location as ’Cadogan Gardens’. Additionally, another independent preparatory school, Sussex House School, was established at number 68 in 1952. The school occupies a historic house designed by architect Norman Shaw.

The square’s real estate mainly consists of apartments or flats with relatively short leases, commanding prices in the multimillion-pound range. While the majority of houses within the square have been transformed into flats, there remain a few pristine houses that have retained their original state. These exceptional properties could be valued at more than £25 million each. Back in 2013, the average property price on Cadogan Square was an impressive £5.75 million, securing its place as the third most expensive street in the entire country.
