Homer Street
Homer Street is a street in the Marylebone district of the City of Westminster, London, that runs form Old Marylebone Road in the north to Crawford Street in the south.
The street is one of those in the Portman Estate area with classical names, such as Cato Street, Homer Row, and Virgil Place.[1] According to Gillian Bebbington, all four street names were inspired by Edward Homer who was a friend of John Simon Harcourt who owned the land on which the streets were built.[2]
