Homer Row

Homer Row is a street in the Marylebone district of the City of Westminster, London, that runs form Old Marylebone Road in the north to the junction of Crawford Place and Crawford Street in the south.

The street is one of those in the Portman Estate area with classical names, such as Cato Street, Homer Street, and Virgil Place. According to Gillian Bebbington, all four street names were inspired by Edward Homer who was a friend of John Simon Harcourt who owned the land on which the streets were built.
