Cambridge Terrace London W2

[shejos]

An address from 1936: 36 cambridge Terrace, Cumberland House London W2.

Looking for its location, cannot find it from a map of London today.

Does anyone know if this still exists and where?
Many thanks for heelp.

Īt's still there!

Just to the east of Regents Park. NW1 4JL

Find Chester Gate, and Cambridge Terrace lies on the Outer Circle, just below Chester Gate.

Thank you, yes I see this, but this is London NW1 and my address has W2.  Has London changed its numbering since 1936?  Also I don't understand the Cumberland House, I can only find a Cumberland House in Kensington.
Confusing!  Thanks

OK. I stand corrected!

There is still a Cambridge Square, W2.
Looks like new(ish) blocks around there - so maybe Cambridge Terrace has been rebuilt?

Hi


Cambridge Terrace W2 was encorporated into Sussex Gardens sometime before 1945.

Thank you very much indeed to both of you.  Sussex gardens is close to Cambridge Square, so it looks like you are both right about the area.  Google maps shws Sussex Place clearly, so houses look old enough to have been built by 1936.  I guess I'll have to try and find a map from this time to locate exactly.  At least I'm closer.
Very grateful.

Hi


According to one website

'His grandfather, the artist John Doyle, and his family lived for many years at 17 Cambridge Terrace in Paddington, now the Hamilton Hotel in the renamed street of Sussex Gardens.'

http://www.lostworldread.com/westminster.htm

The Hamilton Hotel website states its address as 32 Sussex Gardens (next to the Pavilion Hotel at 34-36) on the corner of Sale Place and Sussex Gardens. You can see the Pavilion Hotel on Google maps and you can zoom down to street level

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

This website is slightly contradictory and states

'Several of the new houses had notable residents. No. 32 Cambridge Terrace was occupied by Napoleon I's surgeon Barry O'Meara (1786-1836) from 1830 and no. 34 by the caricaturists John Doyle (1797-1868) and his son Richard (1824-83) from 1833 to 1864.'

From my 1936 edition of the Authentic Map Directory of London & suburbs, Cambridge Terrace is towards the bottom right of square 24, just above Grand Junction Road
