History

The street is named after St Andrew's Church, built in 1670 and designed by William Dobson. An ancient church was in the area from 1172 called the Church of St Andrew de Thengmote and may have been preceded by a Viking temple. The western end of the street was named Hog Hill in 1728 [1] until 1776 after Abbey of the Blessed Virgin Mary del Hogges. The current Church of St Andrew was built between 1860 and 1862 and was designed by W. H. Lynn. [2]

The surgeon Philip Woodroffe lived in the street and died at his home there in 1799. He was buried in St Andrew's churchyard. [3] The famous Restaurant Jammet stood on St Andrew's Street between 1901 and 1926. [4] [5]
