Canning Place

Canning Place is an unusual L-shaped street on the east side of Victoria Road. The northern leg of the street is pedestrian-only and has a terrace of three-storey houses with rather unusual windows in leaded sections protruding at first floor level.

The main leg of the street contains a very attractive terrace on the south side consisting of three-storey Victorian houses with first floor balconettes. The rest of the houses in Canning Place consist of joined-up paired two-storey houses, all stuccoed and having small front gardens.

There are a number of mews developments. There is a private gated mews fronted by a huge wooden gate. Inside is a group of houses round a courtyard, sharing a walk-around balcony at first floor level. There is a small central garden. There is also another gated mews on the eastern side of the street, and an ungated mews called Canning Place Mews.

Canning Place was part of the Inderwick Estate.

Starting in 1837 ten houses were built in Canning Place. Those at either end were smaller and narrower than the others. The inner eight houses were built as linked pairs. John Inderwick himself built Nos. 1-5. Nos. 6-10 were built by George Hinton, a builder from Leicester Square. Nos. 11-13 were built later by Inderwick in about 1850.
