The street was one of those laid out around 1729 [1] when the area north of Oxford Street was urbanised on a grid pattern.

Harley employed John Prince to lay out the streets on the Harley estate and John's Prince's Street was one of the first set out. Contemporary newspaper the Morning Advertiser , described Prince as vain and arrogant and a self-styled "Prince of Builders".
