Notable events, establishments and inhabitants

 * The Embassy of Hungary, London, is at no 35.
 * After Great Britain's recognition of the communist regime operating in Poland as the legitimate Polish government, the Polish government-in-exile was forced to relocate from the Polish embassy to no 43, which prior to this event was the president's personal residence. This period ended in 1990 following the first free presidential elections after the May Coup in Poland, during which Lech Wałęsa was elected as the president. The government-in-exile was thereby disbanded, and its president handed over various insignia of the Second Polish Republic to Wałęsa.
 * The 1971 TV series Upstairs, Downstairs is supposed to be set at 165 Eaton Place; but there is no number 165, so they used number 65 and painted a "1" in front of the house number for outside shots.
 * On 22 June 1922, Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, 1st Baronet, was assassinated outside his home at no 36 by Irish Republican Army members Reginald Dunne and Joseph O'Sullivan.
