South Molton Street
The street was built in the mid-18th century as part of the Conduit Mead Estate. It was extensively rebuilt around 1900, but many of the original Georgian houses remain. It is now pedestrianised and contains many shops selling items such as women's fashion and jewellery.[1] The street is also home to model agency Sapphires Model Management.
