Wesley Street
Wesley Street is a short residential street within the Howard de Walden Estate in eastern Marylebone, carrying the W1G postcode. Its name connects the street to Marylebone's significant association with Charles Wesley (1707 to 1788), the Methodist hymn writer and co-founder of Methodism alongside his brother John.
Charles Wesley lived in the Marylebone area from 1771 until his death. His home was in Great Chesterfield Street, now known as Wheatley Street, a short distance from Wesley Street itself. A blue plaque at 1 Wheatley Street, erected by the London County Council in 1953, marks the site. Wesley is buried in the churchyard of St Marylebone Parish Church on Marylebone Road. The area's Methodist connection is further preserved at Hinde Street Methodist Church, one of the most significant Methodist chapels in central London, which remains active on Hinde Street nearby.
Wesley Street itself forms part of the fine grain of the Howard de Walden Estate grid, sitting among the consulting and residential streets that extend east from Marylebone High Street toward Harley Street. The scale and character of the street are consistent with the secondary residential fabric of the estate, which was developed in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
The wider block connects to the medical and professional district centred on Welbeck Street, which runs parallel to the west.
