Great Portland Street is in the London’s West End. It has a mix of Edwardian and Victorian architecture and, as a street, a long history dating back to 1726, when it was called John Street. In the early 20th century it was known as ‘Motor Row’ because many companies such as Benz, Austin and Vauxhall established showrooms there. It was also very well known as a place to purchase tailor made clothing.

The Dukes of Portland owned most of the area in the 18th & 19th century and so the name soon changed from John Street to Portland Road. It was finally renamed Great Portland Street in 1870. It is an unusual area in terms of layout as there is a grid pattern of streets running from east to west, often starting or ending at Great Portland Street. This is thought to be the result of a number of estates being developed at the same time locally. The road itself separates Fitzrovia, with its more artistic feel from Portland Place and Harley Street, which are undeniably posh.
