Decorating Clarges Street

Clarges Street is a short but distinguished Georgian street in Mayfair, running between Piccadilly and Curzon Street, and forming part of the Mayfair Conservation Area. Developed in the eighteenth century on the Clarges Estate, the street is characterised by brick-fronted Georgian townhouses alongside later Victorian and Edwardian infill buildings that respect the neighbourhood's scale and character. The street enjoys a prime location between Green Park and the busy commercial heart of Mayfair.

Clarges Street's mix of original Georgian stock brick facades and later painted stucco dressings demands careful colour matching and lime-based paint products on the historic masonry. The enclosed urban setting and prestige of the address mean that any external works are scrutinised by neighbours and the Westminster City Council conservation officers.
