Situated between two larger mansions, Number 10 Hyde Park Place was built in 1805, measuring just 95cm across and boasting only two rooms. The house might have served dual purposes: deterring grave robbers from the nearby St George's Graveyard or providing a small living space for servants of the adjacent mansion. This unique construction hides in plain sight amid the opulence of the Hyde Park area, attracting attention due to its remarkable size.
Legend has it that the minuscule house, affectionately known as the 'Dwarf's dream house', was once home to a mythical dwarf. This captivating tale adds an element of charm and intrigue to a property that is otherwise easily overlooked. Surrounded by much larger structures, this tiny residence has become a quirky piece of London lore that reflects both the city’s history and its oddities.
