Sir Robert Hunter

Addington Square was built between 1810 and 1850, when the area was still mostly fields and market gardens. It became home to the well-to-do escaping densely populated central London. It had two swimming baths by 1840. In 1844, National Trust founder Robert Hunter was born. The Richardsons gang operated here in the 1960's.
