Hanover Square


291, Oxford Street. (W1) . For derivation, see supra. The site on which it stands was, as late as 1716, still open country. Here resided Richard, Lord Cobham, immortalised by Pope; and here, in 1792, at the corner house of Prince's Street and Hanover Square, the celebrated naval commander Lord Rodney died. (Reference: Jesse's London, vol. I, p. 49)
