HISTORY: This group of former livery stables, designed in the Queen Anne style, was built to serve the elegant residential area of Mayfair. Their survival represents the final chapter in the story of town stables, and they have been subsequently adapted to automobile garage use. Bruton Place retains its scale as a quiet mews street, although most of the other stables have been re-built. This group of 3 survive externally mostly intact, clearly expressing their original function.

Externally intact group of three former stables in the Queen Anne style that forms part of a fine late-Victorian stables development, built to serve the elegant residential area of Mayfair.

Group value with the Grade II former mews at 10-38 Bourdon Street.
