About

Hans Town sits within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The area was laid out in the late 18th century by Thomas and William Hans and is built around Hans Place, a rectangular garden square ringed by terraced houses. The street pattern includes short mews and narrow residential lanes that reflect the original infill development. Many buildings are of late-Georgian origin or later rebuilds on the same plots, and a handful of small hotels and professional practices occupy former townhouses along the principal streets.

Today Hans Town remains primarily residential, with a mix of privately managed garden squares and pedestrian mews. Local provision is made by small shops, cafés and service businesses clustered on the main streets rather than large retail blocks. The private central garden at Hans Place is still enclosed and accessed by residents, providing the characteristic spatial focus that shaped the neighbourhood from its first construction phase.
