Cadogan Place was named after Earl Cadogan and runs parallel to the lower half of Sloane Street.
The square of Cadogan Place was built prior to 1811 and gives its name to the extensive Cadogan Place Gardens which are not open to the public.
44 Cadogan Place was home to William Wilberforce for the last two years of his life. 52 Cadogan Place was the London birthplace, childhood and family home of Harold Macmillan (1894–1986), former Prime Minister.
It is bordered to the west by Sloane Street and bisected by Pont Street to the north which runs east to west from Cadogan Place to Sloane Street. The eastern side of Cadogan Place is defined by its long stuccoed terraces built in the early 19th century
The northern garden was laid out by Humphry Repton in 1806. Repton laid out winding paths and created ridges and dips from excavated soil. An underground car park was created in the 1970s underneath the northern garden. The garden features rosebeds and shrubs and a summerhouse.
