Clarence Gardens was painted by a number of artists in the Camden Town Group, including both Harold Gilman and William Ratcliffe in around 1912. Sickert himself had a studio in Robert Street in the 1890s - a road that ran between Cumberland Market and Clarence Gardens. Although the square survives the housing around it was destroyed during World War Two.
