Amenities and neighboursWyndham PlaceWyndham Place leads from the short, northern end of Bryanston Square to the Church of St Mary's, an 1821 Grade I listed building by Robert Smirke. Great Cumberland Place{{Main articles|Great Cumberland Place}}A similar distance to the south along its southern narrowed continuation, broadening in the middle into a small crescent is Western Marble Arch Synagogue. The projection is Great Cumberland Place which is approximately one third of the width as measured from building to building. The thoroughfare culminates with the Marble Arch before which the street is flanked by Cumberland Court and the Cumberland Hotel which incorporates the tube station. Its uses vary between residential use and hotel use. Architectural context and featuresBeyond half of its mews is Montagu Square to the east and beyond a few similarly ornate streets is the Paddington and Marylebone-dividing Edgware Road. Bryanston Square is of approximately equal area to Portman Square. It has wide roads, many buildings of which have listed status, and a private tree-lined garden. Wetherby Preparatory School occupies part of the block from the south west corner. Listed are:
Colour and height and neat façades make the square geometric and yet differentiated. Slightly varied yellowy-brown brickwork from address to address (historically referred to as 'yellow bricks') is accompanied in by differing mansard roofs, mostly of grey slate—a minority is of red-brown bricks. Decorative black balconies above the first level are accompanied by a white chamfered band course at the penultimate level before the mansard. At the divide of the mansards or parapet roofs with roof gardens is a longer such course forming a more pronounced white band course which is a cornice. All of the casements are tall white, multi-pane sash windows of uniform height and distribution.[2][3][4] In the south is the William Pitt Byrne Memorial Fountain, erected in 1862, a Grade II (initial category) listed monument under the statutory protection scheme,[5] as is an ornamental water pump at the opposite end.[6] Two other buildings form the bulk of the equally interrupted southern façade, listed, 63 and 68 George Street. Ambassadorial presence
HistoryNamed after its founder Henry William Portman's home village of Bryanston in Dorset, it was built as part of the Portman Estate between 1810 and 1815, along with Montagu Square beyond a mews to the east. Notable people
