It was built on land once occupied by Arundel House and its gardens, the property of the Howard family, Dukes of Norfolk.
[1] Howard Street and its neighbouring streets, Arundel, Norfolk, and Surrey, were all built after Arundel House was demolished by the earl of Arundel in 1678.
[2] Howard and Norfolk Streets were demolished in the 1970s to build Arundel Great Court[3] – taken over by another building in 2012.
[4][5] A major replacement is a campus of King's College London.
