Title
Building in Prince's Gate
Description
Rear elevation of 19 Prince's Gate, Knightsbridge, looking north. The terrace, whose front elevation overlooks Hyde Park, was built 1846-1850 by master builder John Elger to a design by architect Harvey Lonsdale Elmes. The land was acquired from the Earl of Listowel's Kingston House estate and the terrace named after the nearby Prince's Gate entrance to Hyde Park. The whole terrace was Grade II listed in 1970, listing number 1265482. The rear elevation of 19 Prince's Gate has five storeys plus basement, exterior stucco with decoration at attic level and two balconies. It also has a raised terrace with balustraded stairs down into a large garden square, Prince's Gardens. 19 Prince's Gate lies within the Knightsbridge Conservation Area designated in 1968 and is still extant as of 2023, as are the gardens. Nearby 14 Prince's Gate reputedly sold for around 70 million pounds in 2015, indicating the character of the area and the grandeur of the buildings in this terrace.
