 SOME ACCOUNT 
 
 OF THE 
 
 IMPROVEMENTS IN AND ABOUT LONDON. 
 
 The Royal Parks, adjoining the Metropolis of England, consist of 
 
 ST. JAMES’S PARK; 
 
 GREEN PARK ; 
 
 HYDE PARK ; and 
 REGENT’S PARK. 
 
 St. J ames’s Park is of most ancient date. It was the Court residence of Henry VIH. 
 who built a Palace here as a stately residence, and appended to it an extensive Garden, wdiich 
 was laid out by Lancelot Brown. Henry VIH. drained and enclosed it as a Park con¬ 
 necting St. James’s and Whitehall.(b Charles the Second employed Le Notre to plant the 
 Avenues, and make the Canal, as w^ell as the Aviary adjoining the Bird Cage Walk, which 
 took its name from the cages that w^ere then hung in the trees ; the Canal at that time having a 
 decoy for water-fowJ. The same Prince formed the Vlall, the present vista so called, but 
 which was constructed as a smooth hollowed walk, in which to play at a certain game with 
 a ball, and a kind of club called a mall. Agreeably to that purpose, this noble w^alk, which 
 is half a mile in length, was bordered with a wooden screen, and bounded at one end by an 
 iron hoop, through which the ball was to be struck. Subsequent monarchs allowed the 
 citizens to walk in this Park for their recreation, and William the Third first permitted a 
 passage to be made into it from Spring Gardens. This Park has recently undergone 
 many and much improved alterations, particularly the Enclosure, in which there are 
 serpentine walks beautifully laid out and a wide spreading lake. 
 
 The Green Park is a continuation, in a north-w^estern direction, of St. James’s Park

being separated from it only by an iron railing. At the north-east angle of the Park, close to 
 Piccadilly, is a fine reservoir of water, with a pleasant walk around it, and an entrance also 
 from the street. The Lodge of the Deputy-ranger of St. James’s and Hyde Park, forms a part 
 of the ascent west of the Reservoir. The plan of this and St. James’s Park will be better 
 understood by reference to Plate 3 ; in which will be found the situations of the Horse Guards 
 in the east, Buckingham Palace and its Grounds in the south-west, and the Enclosure as its 
 centre, in the vicinity of the Green Park. 
 
 Hyde Park was seized among the crown lands soon after the death of Charles the 
 First, and was excepted from sale, with some other royal demesnes, by an ordinance of 
 Parliament in 1649. The extent of Hyde Park, which has been considerably reduced by 
 the making of Kensington Gardens, (from which, as now completed, it is separated 
 by a wall and sunk fence, and a magnificent Bridge of five elliptical arches constructed 
 by the Messrs. Rennie,) according to a survey taken in 1790, was then 394 acres 
 2 roods 38 poles. J’his Park has much of natural beauty of scenery. The large Canal, 
 called the Serpentine, was made in the year 1730, by the desire of Queen Caroline; the 
 water is supplied from the Hampstead Ponds, passes Bayswater, and falls into the Thames, 
 dividing the parishes of Chelsea and St. George’s Hanover Square. There are several 
 handsome Lodges, engravings of which accompany the Work ; (for plan see Plate 4.) 
 
 The R egent’s Park is of recent date, and owes its name to the Prince Regent, after¬ 
 wards George the Fourth, in whose regency and reign this magnificent Park was made, 
 under the superintendence of the Office of Woods and Works. The site upon which this 
 Park is erected, was formerly called Marylebone Fields, or Marylebone Park,(^) which, with 
 other lands adjacent, were used principally for meadow and grazing ; (for plan see Plate 5.) 
 J’his Park embraces an area of 357 acres, which are laid out in lawn plantations, water, 
 roads, walks, gardens, Menagerie and Aviary for the Zoological Society, terraces, and 
 handsome houses skirting the Parks; besides beautiful Lodges hereafter referred to. 
 
 J’he Government of the country, and the national feeling, were so long occupied with the 
 importance of the late war, which terminated so gloriously to the honor of our country, that 
 the Royal Parks were previously in a very neglected state; and the Gates and Lodges, par¬ 
 ticularly the entrance into London by Knightsbridge, were mean in character, and totally 
 unworthy of their purpose. The accompanying wood-cut, of what was and is now called 
 Hyde Park Corner, will serve to recall to the memory of many the then appearance of that 
 entrance into London.

 The late H. P. Hope, Esq. is entitled to the gratitude of the public for his constant advocacy 
 of the propriety of improving these important places of public resort; and for the practical 
 proof of his sincerity, by erecting, at his own cost, new Gates in Hyde Park, opposite Cum¬ 
 berland Place.(3) Shortly afterwards. Government, at the strong recommendation of the Right 
 Honourable Charles Arbuthnot, the then Chief Commissioner of Her Majesty^s Woods, &c., 
 decided upon effecting a general improvement of the Parks ; and in the year 1824, Air. D. 
 Burton was called upon for a report and plans ; and the following works have subsequently 
 been executed, chiefly from his designs and under his direction :— 
 
 The old Gates, Brick Cottage, Lodges and Cow Sheds, at the Cumberland, Stanhope, 
 and Piccadilly Entrances, and the old Gates and I^odges at the Grosvenor Entrance, 
 were renewed ; and new iron gates, stone piers, and lodges erected. Gas-lamps were placed 
 at all the Entrances. Foot gates and stone piers were added to the carriage gate erected 
 by Air. Hope, opposite Cumberland Place. The Riding House and the Chelsea Water 
 Works, Engine-house, See. in the centre of the Park, near Park Lane, were removed ; and 
 the old brick wall, which surrounded the contiguous circular Reservoir, was taken down, and 
 open iron railing substituted. The brick boundary wall of the Park has been taken down, 
 and replaced by open iron railing. 
 
 (3) See Pate 14 
 
[ 4 ] 
 
 The narrow sunken road from Oxford Street to Piccadilly, which for the most part 
 continued by the side of the boundary wall next Park Lane, was abandoned, tilled up, and 
 laid down in grass ; and a wide mall, with two foot-paths, was formed on the higher ground, 
 and enclosed by handsome iron posts and rails. At the same time, Park Lane was at 
 several points widened, and the surface considerably raised, to arrive at the present 
 level. Extensive gravel pits existed in the middle of the Park, which were filled up, and the 
 surface of the Park generally was levelled and manured, by which the herbage has been 
 greatly improved. Numerous seats were placed about the Park for the convenience of the 
 public. Clumps and avenues of trees were planted. The Serpentine was cleansed, and the 
 Rustic Boat-house erected on its bank. A new Drive, nearly a mile in extent, was made 
 through the distant and most beautiful part of the Park, to lead to Kensington Gardens ; and 
 generally all the roads were Macadamized, and enclosed with posts and rails. To connect 
 the roads north and south of the Serpentine, a handsome Bridge was erected, from the designs 
 and under the superintendance of Messrs. Rennie, which has much conduced to the 
 accommodation of pedestrians and horsemen.W 
 
 The style of the architecture adopted for the Entrance Lodges is Grecian. The walls 
 are faced with Bath stone ; the columns and entablatures, of Portland stone. 
 
 The Stanhope Street entrance(-^) has two lodges similar to each other. The north one 
 is the residence of the Foreman of the I^ark. All have a sunk story and court, in which the 
 offices are concealed. No cow-houses or out-buildiniis are allowed. 
 
 Idle improvement perhaps most appreciated by the public is the removal of the Turn¬ 
 pike at Hyde Park Corner ; the lowering the summit of the hill there ; and filling up the 
 roads from Knightsbridge and in Grosvenor Place, so as to render the gradients easier. 
 IMany will recollect the inconveniences attached to the old state of things in that quarter. 
 I’he Archway in the Green Park, and the Faqade Entrance to Hyde Park, give a 
 grandeur of entrance into London which will be duly appreciated by the recollection of the 
 former one. 
 
 We here introduce a Wood-cut, shewing the present and improved Entrance, which, 
 by the kindness of Mr. D. Burton, we were permitted to copy from an elaborate pic¬ 
 ture painted expressly for him, and which is placed in his museum. 
 
 See page 10 . 
 
 (5) See Plate 1 ‘ 2 . 
 
In Mr. D. Burton’s original Design, the Arch was proposed to be placed in the centre 
 of Piccadilly, with two smaller Archways on each side, connected by Facades of Columns, 
 with Gateways into Hyde Park and the Green Park, Objections were raised against this 
 Design on the score of expense, and because, considering the great traffic at that spot, it 
 would be injudicious to place any obstruction to it in Piccadilly, from whence one (the 
 turnpike) had, to the great satisfaction of the public, been just removed. The Design was 
 ordered to be confined to a handsome Entrance into Hyde Park,(6) and one to the intended 
 Buckingham Palace; the public Entrance to the Green Park to be on the east side of the 
 Royal Gate, to correspond with Grosvenor Place Road on its west. 
 
 On his late Majesty coming to the throne, however, it was commanded that the Arch¬ 
 way should become the public Entrance, and that, in order to form the approach from Con¬ 
 stitution Hill,(7) a portion of the Palace Gardens should be walled off, and filled up to the 
 required level—an operation which consumed many thousand cart-loads of earth. The 
 necessary quantity, however, was obtained at a trifling cost, a shoot being permitted here. 
 This road is supported, next Grosvenor Place, by a stone wall surmounted by iron railing. 
 The road from thence to the Palace was improved and enclosed with new iron palisades, 
 —It is to be regretted that the Arch in question has been left incomplete. The architect’s 
 Design comprehends an allegorical group :—on the summit Britannia ’I riumphant; eight 
 statues of her eminent sons on the entablature over each column ; a characteristic alto- 
 relief on the face of the attic ; and trophies in bas-relief on the walls behind the columns. 
 
 (6) See Plate 8. (7) See Plate 1.

 The pyramidal form and varied outline which these sculptures would have produced, are felt 
 to be wanting. 
 
 It is in contemplation to place an equestrian statue of his Grace the Duke of Welling¬ 
 ton on the summit of this Arch ; but the propriety of this, as a site, is much questioned, 
 although, as regards the Arch itself, there can be no doubt but that it will suffer in its 
 general effect by the substitution of a single equestrian statue for a Group or Quadriga. 
 
 The interior of St. James’s Park having been judiciously and beautifully laid out 
 under the direction of the late John Nash, Esq. ; and Buckingham Palace having been 
 destined for the abode of Royalty, which presents to the visitor a building of considerable 
 magnificence, upon which the British public spared no expense in making it worthy of the 
 Sovereign of a great empire ; for the information of our readers, we have subjoined rather 
 a lengthy note of its expense for a series of twelve years.(s)

 The improvement of the south-east side of St. James's Park, which presented a most neg¬ 
 lected and unsightly appearance, became necessary. The Bird Cage Walk, therefore, has been 
 re-formed, and enclosed with iron palisades throughout its length, and partially thrown open 
 to the public. The dilapidated Guard-house, Entrance-lodge, Cow-houses, Boundary-wall, 
 and Gates next Buckingham Street, have been pulled down, and the present erections 
 and iron railings carried into execution.(9)

 The Commissioners of Woods and Works, in conjunction with the talented architects, exe¬ 
 cuted a scheme of improvement, in the outer and inner margin of the Parks particularly, by 
 building princely mansions on the site of Carlton Palace, in St. James’s Park ; (s) which, 
 from their spaciousness and loftiness, give dignity to the surrounding scenery. Further west 
 is the palatial residence of York House,(9) now called Stafford or Sutherland House, the 
 
 (8) Some idea may be formed of the terms on which Government have disposed of the ground, on lease, of the magnificent 
 situation upon which formerly stood Carlton Palace. A plot of ground on the south side of the new street, formed on part of 
 the site of Carlton Palace, with a messuage, being the fifth house westward from the continuation of Waterloo Place (reckon¬ 
 ing the corner house as the first) thereon, let on lease of 99 years to the Earl of Caledon, at a ground-rent of £ 266 . per 
 annum, and 21s. 6d. in lieu of land-tax; fine paid for Lease £3,349. 17s. 6d. This is one of those large and magnificent 
 houses looking into the St. James’s Park. 
 
 Also an extract from the Parliamentary Returns, as follows ; — 
 
 “ In the summer of 1826 it was intimated by the Lords of the Treasury, that his Majesty had been graciously 
 pleased to direct that, upon his Majesty’s removal from Carlton Palace, the same should be given up to the public, in order to 
 its being taken down, and the site thereof and of the garden attached thereto, being laid out as building-ground for dwelling- 
 houses of the first class, and their Lordships transmitted a Plan and Design, which had received the approbation of his 
 Majesty, for the intended new buildings, and directed measures to be taken for letting the ground to be built upon in con¬ 
 formity with that Plan. A modification of that Plan, however, subsequently took place ; and an amended Plan, together 
 with a Minute of the Lords of the Treasury thereon, dated IQth of January 1827. 
 
 “ According to this last-mentioned Plan, copy of which and of the said Minute were afterwards laid before your Honourable 
 House, it W’as intended to erect ranges of Buildings for dwelling-houses, not only on the site of Carlton House and Garden, but 
 also on the site of Marlborough House and Garden, and on the south side of the Park between Buckingham Gate and Storey’s 
 Gate ; and also to make very considerable alterations in the distribution of the Ground in the interior, by which the appear¬ 
 ance of the Park would be much improved, and material accommodation to the public afforded ; and in the same Minute it 
 was stated that His Majesty had been graciously pleased to approve of this Plan, and had signified his pleasure that the neces¬ 
 sary steps should be taken, with as little delay as possible, for carrying the measure into execution, 
 
 “ With respect to the proposed Buildings on the site of Marlborough House and Garden, it was afterwards decided, in 
 consequence of there being several years to come of the Crown Lease of those premises, and on account of some doubts which 
 were entertained as to the expediency of carrying that part of the Plan into effect, that the manner in which it may be deter¬ 
 mined to dispose of Marlborough House shall be deferred until the lease may be more nearly expired ; and as to the line of 
 Dwelling-houses proposed by the said Plan to be built on the south side of St. James’s Park, some objections to that part 
 of the Plan have been suggested, in consequence of which no decision has yet taken place. 
 
 “ Considerable progress has been made in the Works on the site of Carlton House and Garden. The whole of Carlton 
 House has been taken down; and ground for fifteen of the new houses, fronting towards the Terrace next St. James’s Park, 
 has been let at the valuation of Mr. Nash ; namely, four guineas per foot on that frontage, amounting to £2,623. 12s. per 
 annum, besides ground for seven other houses, at rents amounting together to £828. 9s. per annum, making together a rental 
 of £3,4.52. Is. per annum, exclusively of the rent of the ground abutting on Pall Mall. The whole of these houses have been 
 erected, and are in the course of being finished. To complete the Plan for building on the site of Carlton House and Grounds, 
 there remains to be let a plot of ground having a frontage of about 160 feet towards St. James’s Park, and now occupied by 
 the Stable Buildings and Riding House of Carlton House, in which are deposited much of the furniture and property of His 
 Majesty. The Plan, therefore, cannot be completed till such furniture and property can be removed into the new Palace of 
 Buckingham House, when the Stables and Riding House may taken down, and the sites cleared for the new building.” 
 
 (9) ‘‘His Royal Highness the late Duke of York having, in the year 182G, communicated to the Treasury “that the 
 expenses of building the house which liis Royal Highness had undertaken to erect for his own residence on the ground in the 
 Stable Yard, St. .James’s, held on lease from the Crown, had proved more considerable tban had been expected, and that it 
 had therefore become necessary for his Royal Highness to raise money to defray the same upon the security of the lease.

 town residence of his Grace the Duke of Sutherland. In Hyde Park, at its entrance, is the 
 elegant mansion ot the Duke of ^V ellington,(if*) whose illustrious name adds dignity to the 
 spot which, together with the several improvements before referred to, and the splendid 
 terraces on the extensive lines of Regent’s Park, the few elegant Villas in the interior— 
 among which is the Italian Villa of the Marquis of Hertford, (n) and the splendid Hospital 
 
 improved as it then was and would be by the large sums then expended and intended to be expended in the completion of the 
 mansion j but that before his Royal Highness took any steps for that purpose, he considered it incumbent upon him to in¬ 
 form their Lordships of his intention, in order that if their Lordships should think it desirable that any reversionary interests, 
 by way of mortgage or otherwise in the property, shoidd rather be in the Crown than possessed by any individual, their 
 Lordships might take such steps as might appear to be expedient for securing that object ; it being his Royal Highness’s 
 wish to meet any views which their Lordships might have upon the subject to the utmost of his power, consistently with the 
 course which his Royal Highness was under the necessity of adopting for securing the completion of his residence.” Their 
 Lordships expressed it to be their decided opinion “ that it was of importance to the public that the Crown should be secured 
 if possible in a priority of purchase in the house; and that to secure that priority, it was expedient that such advances as his 
 Royal Highness might recpiire for the completion of the house, and for discharging the incumbrances upon it, to an extent 
 not exceeding the actual sum disbursed upon it, together with such further sum as should, by a professional examination, be 
 deemed to be the fair value of the lease, should be furnished to his Royal Highness by Government and their Lordships 
 caused his Royal Highness to be informed to that effect, and directed us to communicate with his Royal Highness’s Solicitor, 
 in order that such advances as might be required for the completion of the house, and for discharging the incumbrances 
 thereon, to an extent not exceeding the amount of the sums actually laid out upon the building, together with the value of the lease, 
 might be so made from the funds of this department, or under our guarantee, as to give to the Crown the priority of purchase 
 in the premises, conformably with the views of his Royal Highness, and without detriment to his Royal Highness’s then pre¬ 
 sent right and interest therein, and to his full power over the same. 
 
 “ Accordingly two sums, amounting together to £56,620. 4s. lOd. were advanced by direction of the Treasury, 
 towards the expenses of completing the building, the property being then liable to a previous security for £30,000 ; but for 
 the liquidation of £ 10 , 000 , in part of that security, it was understood that an arrangement was to be made by his Royal 
 Highness, and concerning which intended arrangement there are matters now in discussion between the Lords of the Trea¬ 
 sury, the parties to whom the security had been granted, and the Executors of his Royal Highness. 
 
 " On his Royal Highness’s decease the lease and premises were valued by twm referees; one named by us on behalf of the 
 Treasury, and the other by the Executors of his Royal Highness, at the sum of £81,913 ; at which price it was agreed between 
 the Treasury and the Executors, that the same should be purchased by Government. 
 
 “In December, 1827, the Marquis of Stafford having offered the sum of £ 72,000 for the purchase of the lease, we were 
 directed by the Treasury to take measures for effecting the sale thereof at that sum 5 and his Lordship has accordingly been 
 let into possession of the premises, and the purchase money has been invested in Exchequer bills, in the names of tw'o 
 trustees, until the conveyance to the Marquis shall be perfected.”— Extract oj the Report. 
 
 (10) In a schedule are stated the particulars of sale, to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, of the Fee of Apsley House 
 and Offices, and Garden, at Hyde Park Corner, Piccadilly, which (except a small portion of the Garden recently taken from 
 Hyde Park) was held by his Grace under a lease from the Crown for a term expiring at Michaelmas, I 87 O, subject to the 
 yearly rent of £163. Is. 6d., until the 3d of May, 1834 ; and to the yearly rent of £314. 16s. thenceforth until the end of the 
 lease j and which, under the very special circumstances fully detailed in a correspondence with the Treasury, his Grace has 
 been vested in fee in a trustee for his Grace and his heirs, subject to the conditions in the conveyance, on payment to the 
 Crown by his Grace of the sum of £9,532. 
 
 ( 11 ) A Plot of Ground, containing 5 acres, situate in the north-western part of the Regent’s Park; let to the Marquis of 
 Hertford for 99 years, from the 10th of Oct. 1825, at £180 per annum : £5,000 at the least to be expended in erecting and 
 finishing a Messuage and Offices on part of the said ground, and enclosing, laying out, and planting the residue thereof as

 PLATE 48. 
 
 Lamp, Stirling Bridge, with dimensions.—There is perhaps none of the external orna¬ 
 ments which break the outline of our finest buildings, more strikingly neglected than the 
 Lamp, and the Pillar which supports it. In many instances these appendages are quite out of 
 proportion ; the shaft is made of all forms, and often in the worst taste. In bridge works, 
 where they break the sky-line, the best forms should be adopted. One of the finest build¬ 
 ings in the City of Edinburgh is the Register Office, the design of the celebrated Adam. 
 The Wall, in front of that noble edifice, is allowed to be one of its best features. 
 The south front of it supports 12 lamp pillars ; after the model of which, in a good 
 meaure, these for the parapet walls of Stirling Bridge were designed. Their weight in 
 cast-iron was calculated at about 4 cwt.; and the cost, as estimated by the Edinburgh Foun¬ 
 dry Company, of Edinburgh, was about T.5. 5s. each. 
 
 PLATE 49. 
 
 Elevation of Gates and Palisading at the Palace of the Grand Sultan at Constantinople. 
 
 PLATE 50. 
 
 Elevation of Gates of another Entrance to the same Palace ; drawn to a larger scale. 
 These splendid Gates and Palisading, with marble pillars and basements, were manufac¬ 
 tured by Mr. William Dean, of the Phoenix Foundry, Little Bolton, for the Grand Sultan 
 of Turkey, at whose Palace in Constantinople, upon the banks of the Bosphorus, they are 
 now erected. They are of a very superior kind in point of artist-like taste and of well- 
 meaning utility, and the castings are well executed. The height of the gates, including the 
 
[ 19 ] 
 
 centre ornament over them, is 35 feet: this, as well as all the other ornaments, are richly gilt. 
 The height of the gates themselves is 22 feet, and have a gateway of 12 feet in width, each 
 pair; but including the hanging pilasters, which are formed to represent beautifully pen¬ 
 dent vine-leaves, the width is 18 feet 3 inches. The gates are formed of splendid devices of 
 admirable castings, and will be supported on each side by marble columns, 3 feet 9 inches 
 each in diameter, surmounted by elegant vases. The ornament over the gates is formed to 
 represent the rays of the sun, with a magnificent central star. The palisades add much to 
 the general effect: they are 23 feet in length, on each side, and are fixed in marble base¬ 
 ments, 7 feet 6 inches each in height, being themselves 14 feet 6 inches in height, making 
 in the whole 22 feet. The tout ensemble is splendid. The weight of the two pairs of gates 
 is 40 tons. 
 
 It may not be considered inconsistent with the subject of the text of this work to state, 
 that the late Mr. Pugin projected and carried into effect the publication of a work on the 
 Edifices of London ; with historical, critical, and architectural accounts of each Building, 
 and appropriate illustrations; with Plans, Elevations, and Sections.(^3) So much has this 
 work been prized by the professional architect, as well as by the amateur, that a second 
 edition has appeared ; with further illustrations, and the text much improved, by INIr. Leeds.

 The 'I’raveller’s 
 
 Club-house, Pall Mall, 
 
 is, as a work of art. 
 
 a specimen of the Italian 
 
 style of street architecture much admired, and likely to be the beginning of a style of build¬ 
 ing appropriate as an example for the new improvements of London and other large towns 
 in the kingdom. It is not irrelevant to notice the publication of a work most tasteful and 
 beautiful in its production, at a small price, which has recently emanated from the 
 press, containing finely engraved plates, by Mr. Le Keux.Ci^^) Should this publication re¬ 
 ceive the patronage expected, the Publisher purposes bringing out other recently erected 
 Buildings at intervals, to be published at very moderate prices. 
 
 (14) Studies of the Modem Style of English Architecture, exemplified in the Traveller’s Club-house, imperial 4to., with 
 fine Plates, half-bound in morocco, 18s.
