Ennismore Gardens, SW7

Ennismore Gardens dates from the 1840s.

Kingston House (originally Chudleigh House) was an eighteenth century Palladian mansion with grounds and built by Evelyn Pierrepont, 2nd Duke of Kingston-upon-Hull for his mistress. In 1813 the estate was sold to William Hare, Baron Ennismore, succeeded by his grandson William Hare who sold parts of the estate for redevelopment.

In the 1840s, development began with the construction of houses on the east side of Ennismore Gardens, as well as a pub - the Ennismore Arms.

In the 1860s the 3rd Earl released more land and thus the remainder of Ennismore Gardens, including the private garden at its centre, was laid out in the 1870s.
