Hanover Square, London

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hanover Square from Stow's London Squares (1750), looking north across Marylebone, which was only partly built up at that date.

Hanover Square, London, is a square in Mayfair, London W1, England, just to the south west of the junction of Oxford Street and Regent Street.

Hanover Square was developed in the early 18th century as a fashionable residential address, and was initially occupied mainly by Tory aristocrats. While a few of the 18th century houses remain largely intact, most of the square has been reconstructed in a variety of periods. It is now almost entirely occupied by offices, including the head office of Knight Frank and the London office of Vogue.

St George's Hanover Square is a short distance to the south of the square at the junction of St George Street and Maddox Street.
