Westbourne is an area west of Paddington in west London. It has a manorial history spanning many centuries, within a more broadly defined Paddington, before shedding its association in the mid-19th century. It is named after the west bourne, West Bourne, or River Westbourne, a Thames tributary which was encased in 19th-century London in the 1850s. The spring-fed stream and associated manor have led to the place names Westbourne Green, Westbourne Park and more narrowly: Westbourne Gardens, Westbourne Grove, Westbourne Park Road, Westbourne Park tube station, Westbourne Studios and the name of a public house. Westbourne forms or resembles an electoral ward of the local authority which is, since 1965, Westminster City Council, and an ecclesiastical parish in the Church of England. Westbourne Conservation Area is a smaller area, designated by the local authority, in Planning Law.

Leinster Square
Leinster Square

Leinster Square () and Prince's Square are mirroring garden squares in Bayswater on the cusp of Westbourne and Notting Hill. One street overlaps (is shared by) the two squares. It is within the large, 1965, additions to the City of Westminster, London, W2. The square is in a broad cluster of Victorian estates of private housing with aesthetic landscaping and architecture. These include Prince's Square of symmetrical design, which the square fronts, Hereford Road and Garway Road. It close to Westbourne Grove, the major retail road running across Notting Hill and Tube stations: Bayswater, Queensway and Notting Hill Gate. Much of the area's war damage in the London Blitz was rapidly repaired with houses rebuilt to match the original tall terraces. Grade II listed tall Victorian terraced houses encompass the square, which, on the Hereford Road side, features a proportion of restaurants and cafés. The buildings have basements with black railings, slate mansard roofs, sash windows and yellow bricks with white stucco projections, pediments and dressings. As of 2015, a string of high-end developments is taking place in the square, with new flats and townhouses built behind the façade of two former hotels.The buildings surrounding the square are listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England. The buildings are grouped into individual listings as 1–6, 7–16, 17–20, 23–26, 21 and 22, 27–34, and 38–57 Leinster Square.35–37 and 58–64 and Leinster Square are listed in two groups with buildings in adjacent Prince's Square.
