Bulstrode Street was laid out when the Marylebone area was urbanised on a grid pattern in the early 1700s. [1] It is named after Bulstrode Park in Buckinghamshire which was in the ownership of the first Duke of Portland and was the family seat until 1810. The second Duke married Margaret Cavendish, the only child and heiress of Edward Harley of Harley Street fame, and thus acquired the land on which Bulstrode Street stands. [2]
The most prominent buildings in Bulstrode Street are the modern Marylebone Hotel on the north side, which has its entrance in Welbeck Street, and The American College on the south side. The three terraced town houses at numbers 3 to 7 on the south side, built around 1780–1800, are grade II listed buildings with Historic England. [3] Adjoining houses number 19 [4] and 21 [5] at the western end on the south side are also grade II listed.

Park Crescent is at the north end of Portland Place and south of Marylebone Road in London. The crescent consists of elegant stuccoed terraced houses by the architect John Nash, which form a semicircle. The crescent is part of Nash's and wider town-planning visions of Roman-inspired imperial West End approaches to Regent's Park. It was originally conceived as a circus (circle) to be named Regent's Circus but instead Park Square was built to the north. The only buildings on the Regent's Park side of the square are small garden buildings, enabling higher floors of the Park Crescent buildings to have a longer, green northern view.
