History
The Clarence Gate Mansions were built between 1905 and 1910 to the East of Dorset Square right next to Regent's Park's Clarence Gate. Following consultations by the City of Westminster in 1978 they became part of the protected Dorset Square Conservation Area together with the Grade II* listed church St Cyprian’s, the Art Deco tower of Abbey House, the Rudolf Steiner House and Hall, and Francis Holland School on Park Road.
Architecture
Clarence Gate Gardens is a fine example of Edwardian mansion blocks built in London at the beginning of the twentieth century. The six storey red brick mansion blocks with stone dressings show a number of Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau influences. Large and elaborate Dutch gables contain two additional roof storeys, and paired bay windows rising the full height of the buildings are joined by sinuous Art Nouveau railings. The mansion blocks have segmental porch hoods supported on pairs of ionic columns. The inner doors have fine Art Nouveau handles. On the Glentworth Street sides they feature wrought iron Art Nouveau balconies.
