I've removed some unreferenced stuff from the history section. I'm not convinced of its relevance, either. I'm putting it here for discussion:
Beau Brummell, who frequented the tailors of Cork Street and introduced dandyism to Regency London. (Caricature by Richard Dighton, 1805.)
The street in particular and the area in general was associated with tailors. For example, Beau Brummell (1778–1840), who introduced the flamboyant form of gentleman's fashion in Regency London that became known as dandyism, patronised tailors in Cork Street and its surrounding area. Savile Row, not far from Cork Street to the east, is now the street most associated with high-quality gentleman's tailors today.
I've also removed a partial laundry list of galleries in the street. I suggest that if there is to be such a list (and I note that it has already been removed in the past), then it should be complete, at the very least for current galleries. Pending discussion, I'm placing it here for reference:
Victoria Miro Gallery was founded in Cork Street, although it has now moved. Messum's at No. 8 is another notable gallery. Other galleries include The Hay Hill Gallery located at No. 5,[1]The Gallery in Cork Street together with the associated Gallery 27 at Nos 28 and 27,[2] the Adam Gallery at No. 24,[3]Beaux Arts London at No. 22 [4] and Modern Masters Gallery at No. 23.[5]
For similar reasons I have also removed a partial list of a few, apparently arbitrarily selected, artists who have exhibited in the street. It is not clear why that partial list should be restricted to British artists. Since a large number of really famous artists have been exhibited there (Picasso, Matisse, Moore, Hockney, Frank Stella spring immediately to mind), and since it is a bit of a challenge to think of any major 20th century artist who has not had at least one work shown there, I very much doubt the value of such a list. As before, I'm putting it here for discussion:
Many British-based artists have exhibited in Cork Street over the years. One of the most notable is Francis Bacon, a leading late-20th century painter. Paintings by Edward Piper and John Piper (the two leading artists in the Piper family) have been exhibited at Messum's.[6] Other artists whose works have been shown in Cork Street galleries include
