Warwick Place North, London
Warwick Place North is a short, secluded residential street in the heart of Victoria, City of Westminster, in Central London. Tucked quietly between Warwick Way to the south and Eccleston Square Mews to the north, it offers a charming and peaceful atmosphere just minutes from major transport links and bustling urban life.
Location and Orientation
Warwick Place North lies just west of Belgrave Road and east of St George's Drive in Victoria. It runs in a north-south direction, beginning at Warwick Way and continuing a short distance north to connect with Eccleston Square Mews. The entire length of the road is approximately 180 feet (about 55 metres).
History and Naming
Warwick Place North was likely laid out in the mid-19th century, around the same time the surrounding Pimlico and Victoria area was being developed by the Grosvenor Estate. The area was part of Thomas Cubitt’s grand residential vision for south Westminster, although Warwick Place North itself may have been established slightly later than the initial phases.
The street takes its name from the adjacent Warwick Way and likely honors the Earls of Warwick, a historic English title. Many streets in this area were named to evoke aristocratic or noble associations, in keeping with the Victorian preference for genteel branding of residential neighbourhoods. The name ‘Warwick’ is pronounced “WORR-ick”, not “War-wick”, and is phonetically rendered in the International Phonetic Alphabet as /ˈwɒrɪk/

Character and Atmosphere
Warwick Place North is best described as a quiet, low-traffic mews-style lane with a distinctly residential character.
