Conway Street

Originally named Conway Street Upper and Lower, it was renamed as Southampton Street, and later returned to the name Conway Street, without the distinction of Upper and Lower, and with the houses numbered consecutively from south to north, with Fitzroy Square intervening.

[1] William Heysham Overend (1851–1898), the noted marine artist and illustrator lived at No.

[note 1]Sidney Bechet (1897–1959) the New Orleans jazz pioneer, saxophonist and clarinetist, lived at No.

27 in 1922, and a blue plaque from the Nubian Jak Community Trust commemorates this.
