Wigmore Place
Wigmore Place is a cobbled, cul-de-sac mews running north from Wigmore Street, just west of Harley Street, in the W1U postal district. The mews comprises approximately 20 properties, a mix of terraced mews houses from different construction periods, and forms part of a designated conservation area within the City of Westminster. Its cobbled surface and enclosed character distinguish it from the broader street grid of the Howard de Walden Estate.
Mews streets in this part of Marylebone were originally built to provide stabling and coach houses for the larger Georgian townhouses fronting the principal streets. Wigmore Place followed this pattern, with the carriageway serving rear service access before residential conversion became common during the twentieth century. The street retains a substantial medical presence, consistent with the surrounding Harley Street district, and several properties operate as consulting rooms alongside residential use.
During the Second World War, a high explosive bomb fell close to the Harley Street end of the mews in 1940, causing damage to the immediate area. The wider neighbourhood recovered its character through careful post-war repair. Today Wigmore Place is a sought-after address, valued for its privacy and its cobbled streetscape in a part of central London where such survivals are increasingly rare. It is a short walk from Wigmore Hall and within easy reach of Bond Street Underground station.
