Angel Street, London

[3] Angel Alley is also mentioned as within the College of St Martin's Le Grand in the Letters and Papers of the Reign of Henry VIII for 1542.

[6] It is recorded as Angel Street on John Ogilby and William Morgan's Large Scale Map of the City As Rebuilt By 1676[2] which shows the plan of London after its rebuilding following the fire.

[4] King's Head Court was established on the south side on the corner with St Martin's Le Grand by 1746 and appears on John Rocque's map of that year.

On the south side at the St Martin's Le Grand end, a number of houses described as "very ruinous" were demolished in Angel Street and King's Head Court in 1835 after they were condemned by a ward-inquest.

[15][16] The telegraph office was slightly damaged by a bomb during the First World War, and more seriously during the London Blitz in 1940 when burning debris from adjacent buildings set it alight and totally destroyed the interior.

[12] The former post office building on the northern side of Angel Street is now known as Nomura House at 1 St Martin's Le Grand.
