Victorian housing on Cadogan Terrace E9, overlooking Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets, East London

---

The terrace was developed from 1870 onwards, and forms the north eastern boundary of Victoria Park. Victoria Park and the surrounding land were acquired by the Crown in the 1840s. After James Pennethorne laid out the park, he intended to build spacious villas around the new public space. The rents from the villas were intended to subsidise the cost of maintaining the park. However grand villas were never built and more modest terraces were constructed for middle-class families.
