Hallam Street is a road situated in the Parish of St Marylebone and London's West End. In administrative terms, it lies within the City of Westminster's West End Ward as well as the Harley Street Conservation Area.[1] Formerly named both Charlotte Street and Duke Street,[2] it was renamed in the early 1900s after Henry Hallam (1777–1859), a noted historian who had been a local resident, and his son Arthur Henry Hallam (1811–1833), poet and the subject of Tennyson's elegy In Memoriam.[3]
