Park Street

A Topographical and Statistical description of the County of Middlesex ,etc (1810) by George Alexander Cooke

Entering Bond Street, famous for its shops and its loungers; we proceed through Bruton Street to Berkeley Square, which we have already noticed, and continuing our walk through Davies Street and Orosvenor Street enter Grosvenor Square, which is surrounded by extremely grand though not uniformly built houses. The centre of this square is occupied by a handsome shrubbery, neatly railed in, and containing a gilt equestrian statue of George I. The square takes its name from Sir Richard Grosvenor, Grosvenor, Bart, ancestor of Earl Grosvenor, who lirst projected it.
