Hanover Square from Stow's London Squares (1750), looking north across Marylebone, which was only partly built up at that date.

Hanover Square, London, is a square in Mayfair, London W1, England, just to the south west of the junction of Oxford Street and Regent Street.

Hanover Square was developed in the early 18th century as a fashionable residential address, and was initially occupied mainly by Tory aristocrats. While a few of the 18th century houses remain largely intact, most of the square has been reconstructed in a variety of periods. It is now almost entirely occupied by offices, including the head office of Knight Frank LLP, the London office of Vogue, MVA Consultancy [1] and the UK headquarters of the head-hunting company - Odgers Ray & Berndtson [2]

St George's Hanover Square is a short distance to the south of the square at the junction of St George Street and Maddox Street.
