It runs westwards from the Edgware Road, for most of the way as a broad avenue until it reaches an area near Lancaster Gate where it becomes a garden square.

Part of the City of Westminster, it is located in the residential area of Tyburnia north of Hyde Park.

It was laid out as part of the ambitious street plan for Tyburnia in 1809, designed by the architect Samuel Pepys Cockerell.
