HistoryThe original barracks were built in the late 18th century at Kensington Gate to accommodate cavalry regiments. King William IV is known to have rode past the barracks on a charger as he went to inspect the London Volunteers at Hyde Park on 26 October 1803.[1] They became unsightly and there was pressure in Parliament to remove the barracks in August 1857.[2] The old barracks were demolished the following year and new barracks were built in Kensington Church Street.[3] The new site had cavalry barracks on the west side of the site and infantry barracks on the east side.[4] The new barracks were demolished in 1972 and the site was redeveloped in the late 1980s as Lancer Square.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=zqJVAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA359&lpg=PA359&dq=Kensington+Barracks+william+IV&source=bl&ots=l3BHNhxjU_&sig=yH5DtgjsPl6Bm34Qw6kVrFKrwyQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjzi-G0xqrPAhUqCMAKHbKoDs4Q6AEIWTAJ#v=onepage&q=Kensington%20Barracks%20william%20IV&f=false|title=The Life and Times of “England's Patriot King,” William the Fourth.|page=359|first=John|last=Watkins|year=1831|publisher=Fisher, Son and Jackson}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1857/aug/24/kensington-barracks-question|title=Kensington Barracks|publisher=Hansard|date=24 August 1857|accessdate=25 September 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://collage.cityoflondon.gov.uk/view-item?i=85700&WINID=1474797132944|title=Kensington Barracks|publisher=London Picture Archive|accessdate=25 September 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.rbkc.gov.uk/idoxWAM/doc/Other-1124713.pdf?extension=.pdf&id=1124713&location=volume2&contentType=application/pdf&pageCount=1|title=Lancer Square: archaeology report|publisher=Squire and Partners|page=|accessdate=25 September 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.rbkc.gov.uk/idoxWAM/doc/Other-1124669.pdf?extension=.pdf&id=1124669&location=volume2&contentType=application/pdf&pageCount=1|title=Lancer Square: Design and access statement|publisher=Squire and Partners|page=|accessdate=25 September 2016}} 2 : Barracks in London|Installations of the British Army |
