History

The street is crossed by Conway Street in the east and Fitzroy Street at its midpoint. On the south side of Warren Street lie Warren Mews, Richardson's Mews, Grafton Mews, and Whitfield Street. It was mostly constructed in the late 18th century.[2]

It is named after Admiral Sir Peter Warren whose daughter and heiress was the first Lady Southampton.[3] Originally a residential street, it now contains mostly shops and businesses.

gollark: It's probably with consent to the extent that *any* social media apps do, i.e. "the long incomprehensible privacy policy says we can".
