St George's Square

St George's Square is a long narrow garden square in Pimlico, London SW1, England. At the northern end is Lupus Street, with Pimlico tube station close by and Belgrave Road to the east. At the southern end is Grosvenor Road (A3212) running along the River Thames.
==History==
Pimlico's development was started in 1835 by the landowner, the Marquess of Westminster, and the building was supervised by Thomas Cubitt who also designed the gardens.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=St George's Square Consultation )〕 St George's Square was originally laid out in 1839 as two parallel streets running north-south but by 1843 had been developed into a formal square, London's only residential square open to the River Thames. The first residents moved in in 1854.〔 Until 1874 the square had its own pier for steamers.〔
St George's Square was in the parish of George Hanover Square and was named after the patron saint of England. In the gardens, now known as Pimlico Gardens, stands a stone statue by John Gibson of William Huskisson MP — the first person ever to be run over and killed by a railway engine〔 — wearing a Roman senatorial toga. The statue, originally designed for the Royal Exchange, was placed in the gardens in 1915. The statue was described by Sir Osbert Sitwell as "boredom rising from the bath".〔 The Church of St Saviour (1864) stands at the north end of the square;〔Nicholas Pevsner remarked the similar siting of Cundy's churches in Warwick Square and Chester Square (Pevsner,''London I: the Cities of London and Westminster'' (The Buildings of England), 2nd ed. 1962:p 459.〕 it was designed by Thomas Cundy the Younger, who was the surveyor for the Grosvenor estate.
