Talk:Curzon Street

MI5
Leconfield House on Curzon Street is a former MI5 HQ. . They have also used Curzon Street House on the same road. Secretlondon 09:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Name
The street is thought to be named after George Howe, 3rd Viscount Howe however it is not until after his death that the title of Earl Howe was taken by someone with the last name Curzon. Before this time it was called Mayfair Row.

Perhaps that's the wrong George Howe. George Howe, 3rd Viscount Howe was the 3rd Viscount Howe under the First Creation. Whereas George Curzon-Howe, 2nd Earl Howe was the second Viscount Howe under the second creation. I believe that this George Curzon-Howe was patron of Curzon Chapel. See

 * I think this is taking it in the wrong direction: perhaps the statement in the article is unclear. The references suggest that the street was called Curzon Street in 1748, which is before anyone from the Howe family gained the name Curzon.  That is where the confusion lies: where exactly the road name changed and why. -- Roleplayer 00:16, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

In Literature
This section has some references that look pretty trivial to me. Any objection to my culling them?

OTOH there's a passing reference in Ian Fleming's 1961 novel Thunderball (ca. p.16) that implies this was a favourite location for "tarts" (presumably in the 1950s). Not mentioned in the article, if true this would be quite interesting for such an upscale Mayfair district. Anyone know anything reliable on this? --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 11:19, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
