Beaumont Street
Beaumont Street is a residential street in the W1G district of Marylebone, running from Marylebone High Street in the north to the junction of Westmoreland Street and Weymouth Street in the south. It was built in 1781 on land that had previously served a very different purpose. Between 1737 and 1778 the site was occupied by Marylebone Gardens, a public pleasure ground offering concerts and entertainments, before the land was sold to builders following the gardens' closure.
The street takes its name from Sir Beaumont Hotham, a local leaseholder in the late eighteenth century. Among its early residents was Walter Savage Landor, the poet and prose writer, who lodged at number 38 in 1794 following his removal from Oxford. The street was developed as part of the broader southward expansion of Marylebone's residential district under the Howard de Walden Estate's predecessors, and its modest Georgian terraces reflect the solid but unfussy domestic architecture typical of streets one removed from the area's principal thoroughfares.
King Edward VII's Hospital has occupied premises on Beaumont Street, contributing to the street's longstanding association with Marylebone's medical district, which extends east to Harley Street and Welbeck Street. The Marylebone Library also had premises here for a period. The street remains largely residential in character, with a quiet Georgian scale that distinguishes it from the more commercial streets to the south and east.
