Lowndes Square


(SW1) So named from William Lowndes, of Chesham, who was the ground-landlord. (Davis's Memorials of Knightsbridge, p. 149) The site of the square was once a coppice, which supplied the Abbot and Convent of Westminster with wood for fuel. (Reference: Timbs's Curiosities of London, p. 750)
