Best Streets in London for the Fun & Wealthy Part 4 - Wardour Street

Wardour Street has existed, by one name or another, almost since the beginning of mapping in London. The current name, as applied to the whole length of the street from Leicester Square to Oxford Street only derives from the 1900's.

Previous to that only a portion of the current street was named Wardour Street. Sir Archibald Wardour was the designer of several of the buildings on the street and it derives its name from him.
