Summary

| Description |
English: Christmas shopping in Carnaby Street The top end, looking NW with Foubert's Place crossing left and right. The street was named after Karnaby House that stood here in the late C17.
"The street was probably laid out in 1685 or 1686 and first appears in the ratebooks in 1687. It was almost completely built up by 1690 with small houses, though there were also a number of stable buildings and a riding-house built on the site of the present Pugh's Place. The most conspicuous element among the early inhabitants were the Huguenot residents and more than one house in the street was noted in the ratebooks as being 'filled with french Protestants', who appear to have lived there rate-free." From: 'Kingly and Carnaby Street Area', Survey of London: volumes 31 and 32: St James Westminster, Part 2 (1963), pp. 176-195. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=41470 |
