Location of Hyde Park Gardens Mews in Greater London

Hyde Park Gardens Mews is a mews street in the Bayswater area of London, W2. The mews consists of 46 residential properties, originally built as stables for Hyde Park Gardens, on a cobbled road with two entrances. The west entrance passes under an archway. The mews is entered by Clarendon Place at the west and Stanhope Terrace to the east. Sussex Place bisects the mews in the middle.

Nos. 1–21, 14A, and 48 Hyde Park Gardens Mews are listed listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England in a group with 9 Clarendon Place. The mews is believed to have been designed by John Crake, built from 1836 to 1840 in conjunction with his Hyde Park Gardens development.[1]

Bridget Cherry, writing in the 1991 London: North West edition of the Pevsner Architectural Guides, describes the mews as the "most extensive survival" of the "original service buildings to support such grand establishments".[2]

The corner of Hyde Park Gardens Mews and Sussex Place features in the 1955 film Lost with David Farrar and a scene in the 1961 film No Love for Johnnie with Peter Finch and Mary Peach.[3]
