Bingham Place
Bingham Place is a short cul-de-sac running off the north-western side of Nottingham Street in Marylebone, with a W1U postcode that places it within the territory of the Howard de Walden Estate. Like many of the smaller residential cuts in this part of the neighbourhood, it developed as a mews, with the original properties designed to provide stable and coach-house accommodation for the grander households fronting the principal streets nearby.
The street's name derives from Bingham in Nottinghamshire, where the dukes of Portland, who held much of the land in this part of Marylebone before the Howard de Walden inheritance, owned property. This naming convention, linking London streets to the landowners' country seats and associated estates, was common across the Georgian development of the area in the later decades of the eighteenth century.
Bingham Place retains a quiet, residential character that contrasts with the more commercial activity of nearby Marylebone High Street. The cobbled surface and modest scale of the properties are characteristic of the mews typology across the Howard de Walden grid, where streets were paved with setts and lined with low two-storey structures offering living space above the working ground floor. Today the houses function as private residences, sought after for their relative seclusion within walking distance of Baker Street Underground and the open spaces of Regent's Park.
