Phillimore Place

Phillimore Place is a street in Kensington, London.

Phillimore Place runs from its junction with Phillimore Gardens in the south-west to Argyll Road in the north-east.

Phillimore Place formed part of the Phillimore estate, inherited by William Phillimore in 1779.[1] The late Georgian houses were built from 1788 to 1816, largely designed by William Porden.[1]
