'''Connaught Village''' is a commercial and residential area just west of [Marble Arch](/source/Marble_Arch) and just north of [Hyde Park](/source/Hyde_Park%2C_London) within the [City of Westminster](/source/City_of_Westminster), [London](/source/London). As part of the [Hyde Park Estate](/source/Hyde_Park_Estate), it is owned by the [Church Commissioners of England](/source/Church_Commissioners). Numerous boutiques, designer shops and restaurants reside in Connaught Village and it is often referenced as a [https://seeninthecity.co.uk/2020/03/05/connaught-village-review-london/ hidden gem] that you can spend many hours meandering around. The couture store of famous shoemaker [Jimmy Choo](/source/Jimmy_Choo) was previously located here. [Tony Blair](/source/Tony_Blair), former leader of the [Labour Party](/source/Labour_Party_(UK)) and Prime Minister, lives in Connaught Square.

In 2025 a new “village green” was created, by converting some car parking spaces in the centre of the village into a pedestrianised area (albeit still with adjacent roads for through-traffic). This includes a number of new flower beds as well as benches for seating.
