Albany Street
Albany Street is a road in London running from Marylebone Road to Gloucester Gate following the east side of Regent's Park . It is about three-quarters of a mile in length.
History [ edit ]
The street was laid out during the 1820s, and takes its name from Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany , the younger brother of King George IV .[1]
The freeholds of the west side of the street are owned by the Crown Estate , as part of Regent's Park. The southern part of the east side of the street is part of the Regent's Park Estate .
The building numbering system has odd numbers on the west side, and even numbers on the east. At the Marylebone Road end is the Holy Trinity Church . Adjacent is The White House, formerly a block of luxury flats, it is now a hotel named The Melia White House. Both stand on traffic islands to themselves. Numbers 31 and 33 are Grade I listed buildings, designed by John Nash . Between 35 and 55 there is an inserted street. This area was occupied by a huge construction called "The Colosseum" designed by Decimus Burton . It was demolished in 1875, and replaced by houses called "Colosseum Terrace" in 1878.[2]
At 55 there is a blue plaque dedicated to the social researcher and reformist Henry Mayhew .[3] Antiochian Orthodox St George's Cathedral (formerly the Anglican Christ Church) which contains a stained-glass window by Dante Gabriel Rossetti .[4] Goldsworthy Gurney built his steam carriages, while also working as a surgeon .[5] pub called "The Victory". At 166, the poet Christina Rossetti lived for a couple of years.[6] Regent's Park Barracks .[7] Constant Lambert , who lived and died there with his wife, the painter and designer Isabel Nicholas (later Rawsthorne) .[8]
Finally there is a blue plaque for the author W. W. Jacobs . He lived at 15 Gloucester Gate, but for some reason the plaque has been placed on Albany Street, at the back entrance to his house.[9]
