Brendon Street
Brendon Street is a short residential street in the north-western section of Marylebone, running between Harrowby Street and Crawford Place in the W1H postal district. It sits within the Portman Estate, which covers roughly 110 acres of Marylebone from Edgware Road in the west to beyond Baker Street in the east, managing 68 streets across the area.
Crawford Place, to which Brendon Street connects, was developed in the first decade of the nineteenth century as predominantly fourth-rate terraced housing, built to serve the growing residential demand north of Portman Square. Several streets in this immediate cluster were named after Tarrant Crawford, a Dorset property associated with the Portman family, a convention consistent with the estate's practice of reflecting its country landholdings in its London street names. Brendon Street follows this same geographic and historical pattern.
The street runs for approximately 139 metres and contains 54 properties, a mixture of original terraced stock and converted uses. The character of this north-western corner of the Portman Estate is less formal than the squares and grand terraces closer to Portman Square, reflecting its origins as secondary residential development rather than the showpiece streets of the estate's Georgian centrepiece. Today the street is predominantly residential, with good access to Edgware Road and Marylebone stations.
