Most of this area of Marylebone was built up by about 1793 and became associated with the medical and dental professions, although the reasons for the attraction are not clear. The name Wimpole comes from the location of the country estate in Cambridgeshire owned by the original landlord, Edward Harley, Earl of Oxford, after whom the parallel Harley Street is named. This image was taken looking north up Upper Wimpole Street from its junction with Weymouth Street.
