AIBU to not know how to say this?!

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

Lowndes Square! I looked online but I’m not sure if the man pronounces the D in it or not! How would you say it, please?

Laun-z?

Like pounds. Not lown-dez

It makes sense with “pounds” but at the same time is so much harder to say it
Launz is easier.

I'd also say it to rhyme with pounds
