Clabon Mews / SW1

Built on part of what was once known as Quail Field — open land used for market gardening until 1837.

The mews buildings arose to serve the grand Queen Anne Revival residences of Lennox Gardens which were developed 1882-6. Now these mews dwellings fetch many millions of pounds in their own right.
