Shepherds Place, originally indicating access to stables behind grand houses, first appeared on John Roque's map of London in 1746, marking its historical significance.
Named after plasterer John Shepherd, significant building took place in the 1730s and 40s, making the alley a representation of Mayfair's historical and architectural evolution.
The 1732 terraced house at the southeastern corner holds the distinction of being the oldest structure in Shepherds Place and is now Grade II listed.
Despite its working-class origins reflected in flats built by the Artisans' Labourers' and General Dwellings Company, Shepherds Place has transformed over time and doesn't serve the same demographic.
