Buildings
Orsett House on the south side, an Italiante stucco villa at number 1, is grade II listed. It was designed by George Ledwell Taylor in 1843-48. The Russian political theorist Alexander Herzen lived there from 1860 to 1863 and a blue plaque marks the fact.[1]
Westbourne Court, a mansion block completed in 1938, is on the north side on the corner with Westbourne Bridge.[2]
The long terraces on both sides at the western end of the street are both grade II listed with Historic England.[3][4]
