Cornwall Gardens Walk

Cornwall Gardens Walk is a small mews on the west side of Cornwall Gardens.

It is entered through a huge arched brick entrance and is partly cobbled. The southern end of Cornwall Gardens Walk is a very small cul-de-sac of attractive two-storey mews houses.

This area is wholly cobbled.

This is part of the Broadwood Estate.

To provide stabling for the main houses in Cornwall Gardens, a number of mews were constructed as part of the Cornwall Gardens development.

The Broadwood family who owned the land awarded the contract for building part of Cornwall Gardens to William Willett, a Hampstead builder, who built houses there between 1876 and 1879.

Willett constructed Cornwall Gardens Walk at the very western edge of the estate in 1877-9. In 1883 more stables were added.
