Harley Street, London

1920’s: At the beginning of the 1700’s, London was growing immensely with the start of the Industrial Revolution. The area that Harley street became a part of, Marylebone Village, benefited significantly with the era’s growing wealth. The area was becoming filled with huge, prestige houses. The largest home was called the Tyburn estate and was eventually owned by Edward Harley through a series of marriages. Harley noted there was a need for fashionable housing in the area and commissioned a grid system of streets.
