Grosvenor Square is Mayfair's grandest address, in the very heart of Mayfair, a few minutes walk from Mount Street and Bond Street. It is surrounded by world famous restaurants, hotels and luxury retailing. Hyde Park is nearby(0.3 mile). The closest underground station is Bond Street (0.2 mile) for the Central and Jubilee lines, and the forthcoming Crossrail. (Please note all distances are approximate.) Conceived in the early 1720s, Grosvenor Square was built between 1725 and 1731, and is the largest Square in the West End. The cost of construction at the time was reported at some £2,871. The Square was surrounded by houses of varying sizes and levels of grandeur, and it is known that at the time of construction, circa 1726, these new houses would sell for between £1,166 and £7,500. Between 1727 and 1741, records reveal that 35 of the first 51 occupants were residents of title. Today the gardens, with two and a half hectares of lawns and mature trees, has been subject to a recent public realm consultation for remodelling into a new urban oasis. With the new developments of “Twenty Grosvenor Square”, “No.1 Grosvenor Square” and the soon to be launched “The Chancery” hotel by Rosewood in the old American Embassy – Grosvenor Square is continuing its 300 years of history as one of the most prestigious addresses in the world and one of the most elegant places to live in London.
