King William Ill

Placeholder for King William Ill white plaque

Rotten Row This ride originally formed part of King William Ill's carriage drive from Whitehall to Kensington Palace. It was the first lamp-lit road in the Kingdom and became known as 'La Route du Roi' a name corrupted to 'Rod-dur - Ro' and so to Rotten Row. Designed as a public bridleway in the 1730's, Rotten Row is one of the most famous urban riding grounds in the world
