Description:
Part of Thomas Cubitt's Pimlico development, Warwick Square was laid out in the early 1840s. The vista westwards towards St Gabriel's Church was a component of Cubitt's original design.
Six of the original iron lamp standards remain in use. The railings have recently been replaced, the hoggin paths and rope-edge tiles reinstated and a great deal of new plants introduced, many of which were used in the Victorian period. The two original Victorian mounds have been re-landscaped with timber forts, concealed paths and hiding places to encourage creative play.
