Kensington
Pembroke Place
Pembroke Place is a small street running off the north west side of Earls Court Road which then goes into a square.
There are some attractive trees in the centre of the square and the houses on the west and south side are three storey terraced houses painted in a variety of colours.
There is plenty of space for parking and on the east side of the square the terrace is stucco up to first floor with most of the houses having a bench in front on the pavement with lots of potted shrubs.
Pembroke Place was part of the Edwardes Estate.
Pembroke Place was originally laid out by Daniel Sutton, a carpet manufacturer from Wilton, who completed most of the houses in Edwardes Square nearby. In 1868, Thomas Huggett, a large scale builder in the Cromwell Road area, turned Pembroke Place into a small square with 14 three storey houses (Nos. 15-18 and 21-30). In 1933 No. 19 was built as a block of flats to designs by W. Doddington.
Sutton’s original houses at Nos. 5-13 were replaced in 1962-3 by new neo-Georgian houses designed by Douglas Stephen and Partners to be copies of the originals.
