Tedworth Square


Tedworth Square is a garden square in London's Chelsea district, SW3. The communal garden at the centre of the development is in size.
The Cadogan family acquired the land in 1753 upon the death of Hans Sloane, and the subsequent division of his estate between his daughters, Mrs Stanley, and Elizabeth Lady Cadogan. The square was laid out on the market gardens of Durham House in 1871. The square is named for the Hampshire town of Tedworth, the home of the daughter-in-law of Revd. George Sloane-Stanley. Private property developers bought the north side of the square from the Cadogan Estate and demolished it in 1977, rebuilding it between 1978-81 to designs by Chapman Taylor Partners.
In 1928 the garden was described as being an 'almost square area surrounded by a thick privet hedge and attractively laid out with lawns, flower beds and trees'. A privet hedge surrounds the square behind modern railings. A lawn with flowerbeds and plane trees are features of the garden.
The average price of a property in Tedworth Square was £2.4 million in 2019.
