**Sloane Place**, later **The Pavilion**, was a large house built by the architect [Henry Holland](/source/Henry_Holland_(architect)) in [Knightsbridge](/source/Knightsbridge), London, and located immediately to the south of [Hans Place](/source/Hans_Place).[1]

In 1774, Holland leased 100 acres of what had been nursery gardens from Lord Cadogan, to redevelop as housing, including [Hans Place](/source/Hans_Place), keeping 21 acres to build a property for himself.[1]

Sloane Place was built in 1780, and Holland had moved in by 1789.[1][2] There were hothouses, a vinery, fruit trees, a Gothic ice-house on the west side of a lawn and a ruined castle/priory.[2][1]

Holland died there in 1806, after which it was sold on to [Peter Denys](/source/Peter_Denys),[1][3] who renamed it **The Pavilion**, and died there in 1816.[4] It was later subdivided, before being demolished in 1874.[1] The site of the house is now occupied by [Shafto Mews](/source/Shafto_Mews)[1] and is memorialised by [Pavilion Road](/source/Pavilion_Road).
