Property Description

Wardour Mews is a Mews Style cul-de-sac off D’Arblay Street in Westminster, parallel to Portland Mews, containing original/ surviving Mews properties. There are 7 properties in the Mews, used for commercial purposes.

A high explosive bomb was dropped onto Broadwick Street in World War II, west of the Mews and in earlier times, the Mews was identified and recorded on the poverty maps for the period as an area of mixed fairly comfortable and ordinary earnings to poorer households.

The Mews has plain and painted brickwork, two and three storey buildings with mansard roof styles. The garages present are a mixture of intact and converted and surrounded by a tarmacadam road surface.

Everchanging Nature

A few planning applications have been made since 2003 for alterations to the properties, mainly concerning changes to the fenestration and the use of one of the properties as flats. Conservation Area controls now apply to new development in the Mews.
