Tor Gardens is a short tree-lined street with a small but substantial stuccoed terrace with off-street parking. The houses have three storeys and a basement.
On the north side is an open, communal garden, with a modern 1960’s style development behind. There is a great feeling of light and space in the street.
Tor Gardens was part of the Pitt Estate.
This street was formerly called York Villas. Thomas Bridges of St Marylebone built a number of houses here in 1851. Only Nos. 1-7 (odd) have survived.
