Bruton Street

Bruton Street is a street in London's Mayfair district.

It runs from Berkeley Square in the south-west to New Bond Street in the north-east, where it continues as Conduit Street.

Notable residents have included Field Marshal John Campbell, 2nd Duke of Argyll, and Richard Brinsley Sheridan.^[1]

On 21 April 1926, Queen Elizabeth II was born at No. 17, the London home of her maternal grandfather, the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne.^[2] The house was commonly thought to have been damaged in the Blitz and demolished in the aftermath,^[2] but archival documents at the British Library prove that the house had been demolished by property developers between 1937 and 1939, before the start of the war.^[3]

The fashion designer Norman Hartnell lived and worked at No. 26 from 1935 until his death in 1979.^[4]
