Seymour Place

Located in the City of Westminster, it runs north from Seymour Street until it meets Marylebone Road, where it becomes Lisson Grove.

Seymour Place was created when the former Portman Estate was redeveloped into a largely grid-like residential pattern in the eighteenth century to accommodate the growing population of London.

[1] From 1849 to 1952, the Gothic St Luke's Church stood the street and the adjoining Nutford Place; the church, which was badly damaged during the Second World War,[2] now houses the Sylvia Young Theatre School.

In 1866, a pioneering female doctor, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, opened St Mary's Dispensary in the street.

[6] The house of Emma Cons, a Victorian social reformer, stands in Seymour Street and bears a blue plaque.
