History

Langley Street is lined by the strongly designed early-19th century buildings of Combe’s Wood Yard Brewery. They have been converted and restored and retain a grandly austere late-Georgian character.

The brewing industry became established in Seven Dials in 1740 and 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.

In 2016, the Mercers’ Company, whose extensive estate in the area includes Langley Street, created Mercers Walk, opening up a new public throughway from Mercer Street to Langley Street.
