Howard Street, London
Howard Street was in the Liberty of the Savoy between Westminster and the City of London; it ran from Surrey Street in the west to Arundel Street in the east, and was crossed only by Norfolk Street. It was demolished in the 1970s.
History
[edit]It was built on land once occupied by Arundel House and its gardens, the property of the Howard family, Dukes of Norfolk.[1] Howard Street and its neighbouring streets, Arundel, Norfolk, and Surrey, were all built after Arundel House was demolished by the earl of Arundel in 1678.[2]
Howard and Norfolk Streets were demolished in the 1970s to build Arundel Great Court[3] – taken over by another building in 2012.[4][5] A major replacement is a campus of King's College London.
