Hanover Square: A square in the West End of London, south of Oxford Street and west of Regent Street. It received its name in the days of the early popularity of George I. St. George's, Hanover Square, is noted as a fashionable church for marriages in London. The square was built about 1731, when the place for executions was removed from Tyburn, lest the inhabitants of the "new square" should be annoyed by them.
