Hyde Park Gate
Hyde Park Gate is a street in Central London, England, which applies to two parallel roads in Kensington on the southern boundary of Kensington Gardens. These two roads run south, perpendicular to Kensington Road, but the name Hyde Park Gate also applies to the houses on the south side of that road between Queen's Gate and De Vere Gardens.
It is known for being a former residence and the death place of Sir Winston Churchill.
The numbering system was changed in 1884, e.g. Number 11 became 20.
