Property Description
New Burlington Mews is a cul-de-sac approached through an entrance under a building off Regent Street, Westminster. The Mews contains 6 properties that are used for commercial purposes. It is located on the site of an original Mews but has been re-developed to a degree that it no longer contains any surviving Mews properties.
Between 1940 and 1941, the Aggregate Night Time Bomb Census records a high explosive bomb falling directly onto the Mews. When the London Poverty Maps were first published, the area was recorded as having a mixture of comfortable living conditions and normal household earnings for the time to poorer residences.
The Mews consists of two and three storey, painted brickwork properties with a tarmacadam road surface.
Everchanging Nature
Extensive building works were being carried out at the time of visit in 2013, so no access to the Mews could be obtained. New shop fronts are being developed just off Regent Street in the Mews. Conservation Area controls now apply to any new development in the Mews.
