St Vincent Street
St Vincent Street is a short residential street in Marylebone, running within the W1U postal district and forming part of the Howard de Walden Estate's quieter western fringe. Its name derives from the nearby school founded by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, a Catholic religious congregation, whose presence established a local identity that the street name has preserved. St Vincent's Catholic Primary School has stood close to Marylebone High Street since opening on its present site in January 1938, and the street sits within comfortable walking distance of the school and the wider parish community it serves.
The street is short at roughly 91 metres in length, with postcodes running from W1U 4DA to W1U 4DF. It occupies territory that would have been developed as part of the general Georgian and early Victorian expansion of this part of Marylebone. The area around Marylebone High Street took its form gradually from the fifteenth century onwards, and by the nineteenth century the surrounding streets had settled into their present residential character.
Today St Vincent Street is primarily a quiet residential turning, close to the Marylebone High Street and the local shops, cafes and community facilities that make this corner of the Howard de Walden Estate one of the more self-contained pockets in central London. The street's small scale reflects the fine grain of the neighbourhood's street pattern rather than any major planning intervention.
