Bonnington Square is a remarkably secluded spot in the triangle formed by Harleyford Road and South Lambeth Road. The houses were originally built for railway workers in the 1870s (the former Nine Elms Depot being nearby). They were eventually compulsorily purchased by the Greater London Council in the 1970s and subsequently sold to residents by Lambeth Council in the late 1990s.
