Sloane Square History: Named after Sir Hans Sloane (1660–1753), a physician, naturalist, and collector. He was royal physician to Queen Anne, George I, and George II.
Development: The area was originally part of the Chelsea estate owned by the Cadogan family.
In the 19th century, Sloane Square became a central hub for the fashionable Chelsea district.
Cultural Role:
Became a hotspot in the late Victorian and Edwardian era, especially with the development of King’s Road.
The Royal Court Theatre (est. 1870s) made Sloane Square a hub for modern British drama.
In the 1960s, Sloane Square and nearby King’s Road were central to Swinging London and youth fashion culture.
From the 1980s onwards, Sloane Street became globally known for high-end fashion — a rival to Bond Street or the Champs-Élysées.
Cultural Associations. The term “Sloane Ranger” (coined in the 1980s) refers to a stereotype of wealthy, conservative young Brits — often spotted around Sloane Square. Princess Diana was considered a “Sloane Ranger” in her early years.
