Dorset Square was built on the former site of Lord’s Cricket Ground.

Dorset Square, architecturally still intact, was planned by the Portman Estate between 1815 and 1820. The square was laid out on the site of Thomas Lord’s first cricket ground, which had been established in 1787.

George Grossmith, the co-author of ’The Diary of a Nobody’ lived in the square as did ’Dodie Smith’, author of 101 Dalmatians. Both locations are marked by blue plaques.

Sir Laurence Gomme, pioneer of the Blue Plaque scheme, lived at 24 Dorset Square from 1895 to 1909 and the 800th blue plaque marks his home.
