London’s Smallest House

[briggl]

All of the websites I have seen that refer to London’s Smallest House list its address as 10 Hyde Park Place. However, when I go to google maps and plug in that address, it can't seem to find Hyde Park Place.

There is a Hyde Park Crescent, Hyde Park Square, Hyde Park Gardens, Hyde Park Gate, Hyde Park Ave, Hyde Park Gardens Mews but no Hyde Park Place.

Can anyone tell me how to find London’s Smallest House on a map?

Happy to be of service, briggl...

It would appear that Google Maps recognises it as just "Park Place" rather than "Hyde Park Place" which will be why it wasn't coming up for you.

Hope this helps.

I had checked that address but:

In google's satellite view I don't see a house that is only 1 metre wide, and when I use street view, I don't see anything that matches the photos on web sites that talk about the house:

We did a blog post on this subject a while back here:

The house you're talking about is now part of a convent, I think.

I believe many people would consider the one in Wales to be the smallest. You can read about it here:

There's also this very thin one that you might like to read about!
