Wythburn Mews, now known as Wythburn Place, underwent a significant transformation from cheap stables to a luxurious residential area. Developed between 1810-1820 as part of the original Portman Estate, it was renamed in the 1930s to distance from its former use. The area faced destruction during WWII, but remnants of its early charm remain, notably the cobbled streets and a few original features. While many garages have been converted into living spaces, the mews retains an air of exclusivity and refinement, reflecting a quieter lifestyle compared to other London neighborhoods.
Originally called Wythburn Mews, it was built between 1810-1820 alongside the development on Brystanston Square and Montague Squares, all part of the original Portman Estate.
The mews widen out and are still paved with cobbles (setts). They have an air of quiet refinement, with some of the mews houses filling the fronts of their homes with pot plants.
