Sumner Place Mews is a historic cobbled cul-de-sac in South Kensington, situated off the north-eastern end of Sumner Place and opposite Onslow Mews East. The mews contains a mixture of Late Georgian and Victorian terraces, with much of the development dating from between approximately 1840 and 1880. Originally constructed as stable and coach-house accommodation for the grander properties around Onslow Square, the buildings have since been converted into residential homes. Sumner Place Mews also has an important architectural connection, having been home to Joseph Aloysius Hansom, the architect, founder and editor of The Builder and inventor of the famous Hansom cab.

Sumner Place Mews is ideally positioned for the amenities of South Kensington and Chelsea, with South Kensington Underground Station within convenient walking distance. The mews lies along the northern section of Sumner Place, which runs between the Old Brompton Road and Onslow Square, providing easy access to the area’s shops, cafés, restaurants and boutiques. The surrounding streets are characterised by elegant period architecture, while the museums, cultural attractions and green spaces of South Kensington are also close by.
