Pembroke Square, W8

Pembroke Square was developed by the Hawks family.

The square was built in the first period of development of Lord Kensington’s Edwardes Estate in the early 19th century. It followed the building of Edwardes Square and Earls Terrace both of which commenced in 1811.

Dowley and Tuck, who were also working on behalf of Lord Kensington on the Kensington Canal, began building Pembroke Square financed by various speculators, but in 1826 were declared bankrupt with only a few of the houses completed.

It was finally completed by 1831.

The whole square is Grade II listed for its architectural merit.

The novelist Vernon Lee lived at No.13. Immunologist Sir Almroth Wright lived at No.6
