Orme_Square

Orme Square is a private square in Bayswater, London, England, off the north side of Bayswater Road and on the north-west corner of Hyde Park, overlooking Kensington Gardens whose Orme Gate entrance takes its name from the square.
It was set out and first occupied between 1820 and 1826 in the environs of Kensington Palace and was one of the first developments beyond Tyburn (the present Marble Arch) which then marked the western rim of London. It therefore contains several of the oldest houses in Bayswater including five Grade II listed buildings (1, 2, 3, 10 and 11). A comprehensive history of the houses and their occupants including those cited below is lodged with Westminster City Archives.
