D’Arblay Street in Soho was named the novelist, diarist and playwright Frances Burney, later Madame d’Arblay. One of the leading novelists of the Georgian Era, her childhood home was on nearby Poland Street. The earliest buildings on the street – including this house – date to the year 1740, while the public house at the end of the road is equally historic.

From here, many of central London’s most popular neighbourhoods are within walking distance. This includes Covent Garden, Leicester Square and the theatres of the West End. Oxford Circus station is also close, while the restaurants and shops of Carnaby Street are within easy reach.
