Air Street

Tucked between Regent Street and Piccadilly, Air Street is a small yet historic road in central London. Dating back to the early 18th century, the street takes its name from its elevated position and the clean air it once offered above the smoky city. Over time, it has played host to several publishing houses and tailors, echoing the creative and commercial spirit of the Soho district.

Today, Air Street blends its past with a fresh, modern presence. The street is best known for housing Bentley’s Oyster Bar & Grill, a long-standing restaurant popular among locals and visitors. It also hosts part of the Crown Estate’s sustainable redevelopment, where elegant offices and stylish eateries sit side by side.

Thanks to its location, Air Street is just a short walk from Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus stations, making it very accessible by public transport. The buildings reflect early Georgian charm with a modern touch, attracting professionals and diners alike. While no major figures have lived on the street, its reputation comes from its fine mix of heritage and refined utility rather than celebrity ties.
