Victoria Square, a small residential square, lies on land forming part of the Grosvenor Estate to the south of the Royal Mews.

The square comprises some 25 houses, all of which are Grade II* listed designed by architect Sir Matthew Wyatt (1805–1886). They were constructed between 1838 and 1840 and named to celebrate the beginning of Queen Victoria’s reign. Most of the houses comprising Victoria Square are now held as freeholds, having been purchased from the Grosvenor Estate.

A statue of the young Queen Victoria by Catherine Anne Laugel was installed in 2007.

The private gardens were renovated in the 2000s decade.

Former residents include author Ian Fleming from 1953 until his death in 1964.
