Langham Street
Langham Street runs east to west through the southern part of Marylebone, connecting Great Portland Street to Portland Place, with the postcode W1W. The street sits at the boundary between the Howard de Walden Estate to the north and the commercial and residential fabric closer to Oxford Street, and its buildings span a wide period from the late eighteenth century to the twentieth.
Several properties are Grade II listed, reflecting the survival of late Georgian terrace stock. Number 38 carries a blue plaque recording that Edmond Malone, the Shakespearean scholar, lived there from 1779 to 1812. Number 42 was home to the architect Benjamin Wyatt between 1810 and 1832, when financial difficulties forced him to leave. Both entries point to Langham Street's character as a professional and intellectual address in the Georgian and Regency periods, consistent with the broader Marylebone tradition of housing physicians, architects, and men of letters.
Later in its history, one of the street's larger buildings served as an orchestral rehearsal space and at other times as a car showroom and cinema, illustrating the adaptability of Marylebone's mid-scale stock over the twentieth century. Today Langham Street is mixed in use, with offices, serviced workspace, and residential properties. It lies a short walk from Wigmore Street to the south and retains a number of its original early nineteenth-century facades.
