Hanover Square is one of Mayfair's most distinguished Georgian squares, laid out in the 1720s. The original houses were built for aristocrats and wealthy merchants, with grand facades and spacious interiors. Though many have been altered over the centuries, some retain their original character with classical proportions, sash windows, and elegant doorcases. The square has long been associated with the medical profession, with many houses converted into consulting rooms in the 19th century.
