The Angel, Islington is a historic landmark and a series of buildings that have stood on the corner of Islington High Street and Pentonville Road in Islington, London, England. The land originally belonged to the Clerkenwell Priory and has had various properties built on it since the 16th century. An inn on the site was called the "Angel Inn" by 1614, and the crossing became generally known as "the Angel". The site was bisected by the New Road, which opened in 1756, and properties on the site have been rebuilt several times up to the 20th century. The corner site gave its name to Angel tube station, opened in 1901, and the surrounding Angel area of London.

Cavendish Square

Cavendish Square is a public garden square in Marylebone in the West End of London. It has a double-helix underground commercial car park.

Park Crescent, London

Park Crescent is at the north end of Portland Place and south of Marylebone Road in London. The crescent consists of elegant stuccoed terraced houses by the architect John Nash, which form a semicircle. The crescent is part of Nash's and wider town-planning visions of Roman-inspired imperial West End approaches to Regent's Park. It was originally conceived as a circus (circle) to be named Regent's Circus but instead Park Square was built to the north. The only buildings on the Regent's Park side of the square are small garden buildings, enabling higher floors of the Park Crescent buildings to have a longer, green northern view.

Hill Street, London

Hill Street is a street in Mayfair, London which runs SW then W from Berkeley Square to Deanery Street, a short approach way from Park Lane. It was developed from farmland in the 18th century. One block to the east and south sees a fall of about three metres whereas its eminence rises gradually six main blocks to beyond the north of Marble Arch in the other direction. Its homes gained fashionable status from the outset: grand townhouses seeing use as seasonal lettings (rentals) and/or longer-term London homes of nobility — then of other wealthy capitalists as much. In heritage and architecture, twenty-two, approximately half of its town houses, are listed. Along its course Audley Square House only departs from townhouse-size frontage. This shares in its predominant form of domestic architecture, Georgian neo-classical. Its public house is the oldest surviving instance within Mayfair.
