Crawford Place
Crawford Place is a residential street in the western reaches of Marylebone, running east to west from the junction of Homer Row, Shouldham Street and Crawford Street to Edgware Road. It carries a W1H postcode and falls within the Molyneux Street Conservation Area, a designation that has helped preserve the consistent scale and materials of the original streetscape.
The street was developed in the first decade of the nineteenth century and was originally known as John Street West. It takes its present name from Tarrant Crawford, a Portman family property in Dorset. The Portman Estate, which has owned and managed much of western Marylebone since the sixteenth century, laid out several streets in this part of the district with names drawn from the same Dorset connection, including Crawford Street to the east.
The street's position near Edgware Road places it at the western boundary of Marylebone, where the neighbourhood shades into Paddington. Despite its proximity to two busy transport corridors, Crawford Place has a quieter residential character, with modest stucco-fronted and brick terraced houses typical of early nineteenth-century speculative development on the Portman Estate. Baker Street and Edgware Road Underground stations both sit within easy walking distance.
