About

Lancaster Gate is a residential enclave situated directly north of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. The area is dominated by grand Victorian mansion blocks and terraces, originally built to house the professional classes. Its streets are arranged around private garden squares, providing quiet, green spaces away from the main thoroughfares. The ward's architecture is uniformly ornate, with stucco facades and wrought-iron balconies defining its character.

The area is notably home to several large hotels that occupy former residential palaces, particularly along Bayswater Road. Lancaster Gate tube station provides direct Central Line access. A defining aspect is the presence of the Norwegian Church and Seamen’s Mission, a cultural hub reflecting the area's historical maritime connections. The western border is marked by the serpentine Paddington Street Gardens.
