"Originally known as Sneads Court on John Rocque's map of London in 1746, the area was wider and more of a courtyard than an alley. Over time, it was renamed Hertford Place and later Yarmouth Mews as the neighborhood evolved into larger hotels and grand houses."
"After WWII, the north side of Yarmouth Place was in ruins, leading to the construction of International House in the 1970s. The alley underwent its fourth name change, becoming Yarmouth Place, reflecting its ongoing transformation."
"Recent developments have seen the demolition of the 1970s office block and the multistory car park, replaced with modern flats. The alley is now cleaner, with new road tarmac, and features an automatic car park system that efficiently manages vehicle storage."
