Description:
Pleasant Georgian square built in the 1830s on the site of an old market garden, land previously owned by Sir Thomas More and Sir John Danvers. It is the westernmost of the squares that lead off the King’s Road.
Interesting lawned garden with unusual plants, shaded by mature plane trees with a central play area, enclosed by railings. Redesigned to celebrate the millennium with a number of new features.
The square was named after Paultons in Hampshire, the country seat of George Stanley, the son-in-law of Sir Hans Sloane, who was Lord of the Manor of Chelsea in the 18th century and gave his name to Sloane Square, Sloane Street, Sloane Avenue and various places starting with Hans.
