Stratton Street

Stratton Street started to be built in 1693 on land occupied at some time by Berkeley House, the townhouse of the Berkeley family of Bruton Abbey in Somerset.

The street was originally a cul-de-sac, running north from Piccadilly with Devonshire House on its eastern side, but in 1924 Devonshire House was demolished and Stratton Street was extended from its northern end eastwards to Berkeley Street, giving it the present right-angled shape.

[1] Mayfair Place, which joins the two streets lower down, was laid out at the same time.

[3][4] Ambrose, the dance band leader, lived in Stratton Street from 1927 to 1940.

Numbers 6,[5] 8,[6] and 15[7] Stratton Street are all listed buildings with Historic England.
