Title
Shops in Hanway Street
Description
View of front elevations of terraced shops and buildings at 38-42 Hanway Street, Marylebone. Businesses include Bel Air Jewellers; Bradley's wine bar with tiled facade, large windows with carriage lanterns and sign advertising Kronen. In 2021 Bradley’s had become a Spanish Bar; Anselmos of Venice, a barber's shop with pictures of models with different hairstyles and revolving barber’s pole. This narrow winding street, off Tottenham Court Road, was formerly Oxford Road. The street is rumoured to be named after the Portsmouth-born traveller and philanthropist, Jonas Hanway (1712-86), famous for being the first Londoner to champion the use of an umbrella. He also founded The Marine Society in 1756, became governor of the Foundling Hospital two years later and then went on to help establish the Magdalen Hospital. Oxford Road was the location of Broughton’s Amphitheatre where John 'Jack' Broughton (c1703-1789), known as the father of English boxing, taught boxing and staged exhibition fights.
