- Description
-
This one-block-long street in the Kensington neighborhood of London derives its name from the observatory that astronomer Sir James South built here in 1831. It contained for a time the largest telescope in the world. After South's death, the property was sold to Thomas Cawley who built the existing houses in the 1880s.

South was involved in a notorious lawsuit brought
against him by the instrument maker Edward
Troughton over the equatorial mount for his
telescope which the latter had constructed for
him, and which South considered defective.
Troughton sued him for payment and won. South
promptly demolished the telescope mount; the 12
inch lens, which had been purchased separately,
was never used by him.
