6 BALFOUR MEWS MAYFAIR W1
B A L F OU R M E W S HISTORY Balfour Mews is situated to the west of Hyde Park in Mayfair. A quiet residential street situated between Aldford Street and South Street, it is a small mews, containing only nine properties. Here, the rebuildings of the late 1890's consisted of two storey stabling, serving the new houses to the north and west. Balfour Mews itself was a new broad yard, open at both ends, with the residential parts of the stabling planned so as to face Aldford Street and South Street. All the new development here was undertaken by the builders Charles Daw and Son to designs supplied in some cases by Balfour and Turner, and in others by their assistant G. A. Codd, who followed their elegant but sober late Queen Anne idiom. Though altered in several respects, these brick and stone buildings retain a modest charm. Most of the west side (Nos. 2, 4 and 6) was built at the same time, though to designs by Codd, who added No. 21 South Street (a house, rather than
stabling) at the south end in 1899-1900. In the centre of this side, the site of No. 10, stretching through to the east side of Rex Place, was not for the present rebuilt – its lease having still some years to run. In Rex Place itself, Nos. 12, 16 and 18 with No. 2 Aldford Street were built by Daw to Codd's designs, probably a little earlier around 1897-8. 6 Balfour Mews was erected in 1898-1899 and reflects the history of English domestic architecture from the early 18th to the early 20th century.
