Detail InformationEdit

Sloane Square is a small hard-landscaped square on the boundaries of the fashionable London districts of Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Chelsea, located 2.1 miles (3.4 km) southwest of Charing Cross, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The square is part of the Hans Town area designed in 1771 by Henry Holland Snr. And Henry Holland Jnr. Both the town and square were named after Sir Hans Sloane.
The square lies at the east end of the trendy Kings Road and at the south end of the more conventionally smart Sloane Street linking to Knightsbridge. In early 2005 improvements to the square were proposed, involving a change to the road layout to make it more pedestrian friendly. One option was to create a central crossroads and two open spaces in front of Peter JONES and the Royal Court.
Near it, are the National Army Museum and Holy Trinity Sloane Street, the basilica-like parish church known as the “Cathedral of the Arts & Crafts Movement”, built in 1890 a few yards from the square itself.The ‘Venus Fountain’ which stands in the centre of the square was constructed in 1953, designed by sculptor Gilbert Ledward.
The ‘Venus Fountain’ which stands in the centre of the square was constructed in 1953, designed by sculptor Gilbert Ledward. The fountain depicts Venus, and on the basin section of the fountain is a relief which depicts King Charles II and Nell Gwynn by the Thames,which was used in relation to a house located close by that Nell Gwynn had used.In 2006, David Lammy put forward a proposal to have the fountain grade II listed,which was successful.
