Percy Circus is a notable example of Victorian architecture in London, developed between 1841 and 1853, showcasing a unique set of slightly different houses due to various builders' preferences. Despite significant damage during WWII, where many original terraces were lost, 15 out of the original 27 houses still stand. The pocket park, once a private space, is now a public area featuring original railings and concentric grass rings. It serves the local community, although it is now inhabited by numerous pigeons, adding a distinctive character to the space.
Percy Circus was one of the last areas in this part of London to be developed, showcasing a unique collection of Victorian houses, albeit slightly different due to various builders' designs.
Initially private, the pocket park at Percy Circus opened to the public post-WWII, retaining original railings while evolving into a modest yet cherished green space.
