History

The greater part of Langley Street is lined by the substantially-scaled, robustly detailed early-19th century buildings of Combe’s Wood Yard Brewery. They have been converted and restored and retain a grandly austere late-Georgian industrial character.

The brewing industry became established in Seven Dials in 1740, contrary to Neale’s original specifications. The Wood Yard Brewery eventually filled the whole area between Long Acre and Short’s Gardens with large handsome stock brick buildings linked by high level cast iron bridges, built between 1796 and the 1880s.
