Socio-economic connotations
Would be nice if someone could weigh in on the socio-economic connotations of the phrase - as in, were they previously associated with students or young people living cheaply, like loft housing in SoHo Manhattan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.162.138.100 (talk • contribs) 21 January 2007‎

Category proposal
I would like to propose this be categorized into Category:Types of streets in addition to its existing categorization. Any objections? I shall give this proposal at least five days for discussion before proceeding. --Legion (talk) 16:54, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

bunch of townhouses, built on top of a bunch of stores, with a courtyard-walkway between them, in the suburbs: that's what I thought

"The word's later usage as a residential term"
Is it possible that (long before the 20th century) in New York and Australia stables with accommodation above them were built for exactly the same purposes as in London? Eddaido (talk) 01:21, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Bizarrely low estimate of the number of mews properties
The page currently quotes a survey estimate of 433 mews properties in London - this is ridiculous, there are hundreds of mews in London and certainly thousands of houses within them. Rechecking the linked site (everchangingmews.com) they now list 713 mews "properties" in London - but each "property" appears to be a mews with 10 to 50 (probably more in some cases) houses. So the number of 433 is almost certainly at least 10x too low. I also did a quick check on the number of roads with the word mews in them in Central London (approx inside the North/South Circular), using the OS Gazeteer (via UK Maps app on iOS) - there are about 1100. Not all of these will be proper mews, but not all mews have the word in their street name, so 1000 is a decent estimate. Even if they have only 10 properties each on average that would be 10,000 mews properties vs the figure here of 433!Jeremy Young (talk) 17:13, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
