Ian Nairn in his book Nairn's London (1966) describes Pelham Crescent: "Bayswater should have looked like this. It makes a perfect urban unit - formal but not rigid, self-contained yet not sealed up. It could be plugged in to any part of London's structure, and would be as happy off the Mile End Road as in Belgravia."
