York Street is a street in Marylebone in Central London.[1] Located in the City of Westminster, it runs west from Baker Street in a straight line until it begins curving when it becomes Harcourt Street towards the Old Marylebone Road. It crosses a number of streets including Seymour Place, Upper Montagu Street and Gloucester Place.
It was laid out in the
painter George Richmond[4] and the writers Frances Milton Trollope and her sons Thomas and Anthony Trollope.[5] The northern, rear side of the neoclassical St Mary's Church, designed by Robert Smirke
and built from 1823 to 1824, faces onto York Street.
