Warwick Square

Layout and architecture

An outlier (anomaly) is №33 which is beyond the south corner of the rectangle - it has views of parts of the square from its front.

The group of four K6 telephone boxes (deemed) on Belgrave Road next to the garden wall of №1 are listed Grade II.[2]

№s 1–23, 26–33, 49–80 which are the fronting buildings save for a church, have national protection and recognition (that is by statutory listed building status); they are in the initial, mainstream category, Grade II.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

The square began with roads and pipes in 1843 and the terraces around it were completed in the next few years. №33 was built from 1860 to 1866 by George Morgan as a studio and mansion.[6] №66 was Cubitt's home and office at the time he was developing the square. It was converted into 5 apartments in 2018.[10]

gollark: 3D *sub*claims, yes.
gollark: Actually, my cube thing used to be 3D-claimed.
gollark: I may be biased, as its programmer!
gollark: PotatOS is the best OS!
gollark: So most claims are 2D, and since there's no real reason/incentive to use 3D they remain that way.
