De Vere Gardens

The street runs roughly north to south, from Kensington Road to Canning Place, and parallel to Victoria Road, Kensington, which is the most expensive street in England. De Vere Mews lies to the rear of the southern end of the east side of the street and is entered via Canning Place. ==History==

Batty's Hippodrome was quickly built in 1851 to coincide with the Great Exhibition just to the east, and occupied most of the land between Victoria Road to the west and Palace Gate to the east, bounded by Kensington Road to the north and Canning Place to the south, apart from a row of houses in Craven Place on Kensington Road, and Canning Cottage, Melville Cottage and Canning Place Mews on Canning Place. After a second season in 1852, the area was largely disused except for a riding school and "hunting ground" run by W. H. Blackman from 1853 to 1874, using Batty's former stables. In December 2015, it was considered to be the fifth most expensive street in England, with an average property price of £7,359,000, according to research from Lloyds Bank, based on Land Registry data. ==Notable people==
