STS is part of Gordon Square
Gordon Square was built after Russell Square and Bedford Square. It was intended to form a pair of squares, together with Tavistock Square. The land was leased by the Duke of Beford’s Estate. This was part of a major extension of London north from Holborn and Russell Square. Building began in 1820. Not all the original buildings on Gordon Square were completed at the same time.
The builder was Thomas Cubitt, famous for a novel form of business organisation in which all aspects of building – materials, transport, labour, and design – were undertaken within the company rather than hired from subcontractors.
The east side (nos. 36-46 and 55-59) of Gordon Square was completed 1824-25 and original elements can be seen today. The west side was completed c. 1850, with a heavier Italianate facade (nos. 16-25 and 47-53). Compare both sides of Gordon Square with those on the east side of Torrington Square (1821-24) and Woburn Square (c. 1829). Tavistock Square retains some original facades on the west side (nos. 29-45).
