Nottingham Street
Nottingham Street is a short east-west street in Marylebone, running from Marylebone High Street in the east to Luxborough Street in the west. It is crossed at its midpoint by Nottingham Place, and joins Bingham Place and Oldbury Place on its northern side. The street falls within the Howard de Walden Estate and, like Nottingham Place, takes its name from the Harley family's Nottinghamshire connections.
Development of the street proceeded during the latter half of the eighteenth century as part of the broader Georgian expansion of Marylebone under the Harley estate. The building stock reflects this period: the street is composed primarily of town houses and small mansion blocks, with the most architecturally distinctive exception being a 1920s telephone exchange built in red and grey brick, rising to six storeys with a mansard roof. This building provides a counterpoint to the domestic scale of the surrounding terraces.
Nottingham Street today serves as a mixed commercial and residential address, quieter than the principal thoroughfares of the Howard de Walden Estate but connected to them by the short cross streets that characterise Marylebone's grid. Its proximity to Marylebone High Street places it within easy reach of the neighbourhood's retail and restaurant offer, while the surrounding streets retain the largely residential character established in the Georgian period.
