New Quebec Street
New Quebec Street is a short street in the W1H postal area, running north from Oxford Street close to Marble Arch, within the western half of Marylebone governed by the Portman Estate. Its name, like that of neighbouring Old Quebec Street, commemorates the Battle of Quebec in 1759, when General James Wolfe's forces captured the city from the French, an event that prompted a small cluster of Quebec-themed street names in this part of the estate.
New Quebec Street dates from the 1780s or 1790s, slightly later than Old Quebec Street, and its Georgian terraces appear on Richard Horwood's map of 1799. The Portman Estate, which holds some 430 listed buildings across its 110 Marylebone acres, includes several refurbished Georgian townhouses on this street, with Furness Partnership carrying out substantial conservation work on Nos. 10-12 in recent years.
Today the street accommodates a mix of independent boutiques and professional services, consistent with the Portman Estate's long-standing preference for occupiers that complement the residential character of Marylebone west of Portman Square. Marble Arch Underground station lies close by at the junction with Oxford Street, and the street feeds into the quieter grid of lanes between Seymour Street and Upper Berkeley Street.
