Swanky Lennox Gardens in Knightsbridge: A pink garden flat is on sale here for £1.7million, suitable for a princess according to the estate agent
Lennox Gardens was laid out on land belonging to the Smith's Charity and was formerly the site of the Prince's Cricket Club established here in c.1870 by George and James Prince, who had founded the club in 1858. The cricket ground was laid out on the former Cattleugh's nursery gardens that were famous for their pines. The cricket club had a skating rink and racket courts as well as the cricket field and in 1870 had 700 members of the 'nobility and gentry', with exclusive membership and high charges. It was described in Wisden's Cricket Almanack of 1872 as 'grand and quick and one of the finest playing grounds in England'.
