About
Dolphin Square is a prominent estate of private flats near the River Thames in Pimlico, Westminster, UK. Built between 1935 and 1937, it was, until the development of Highbury Square, the largest garden square in Greater London constructed as private housing.
Its 1,234 flats were described by Nikolaus Pevsner as the "largest self-contained block of flats in Europe". The design influenced later municipal housing developments. At the time of its completion, Dolphin Square was described as "London's most distinguished address".
