Hyde Park Gate is a street in Central London, England, which applies to two parallel roads in Kensington on the southern boundary of Kensington Gardens. These two roads run south, perpendicular to Kensington Road, but the name Hyde Park Gate also applies to the houses on the south side of that road between Queen's Gate and De Vere Gardens.[1] It is probably most famous for having the former residence and death place of Sir Winston Churchill. It is in a picturesque part of London, and an expensive place to live[citation needed]. The numbering system was changed in 1884, e.g. Number 11 became 20[citation needed].
