Bruton Street is a street in London's Mayfair district. Queen Elizabeth II was born there, and the fashion designer Norman Hartnell lived there for 44 years.
It runs from Berkeley Square in the south-west to New Bond Street in the north-east, where it continues as Conduit Street.
Notable residents have included Field Marshal John Campbell, 2nd Duke of Argyll, and Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
On 21 April 1926, Queen Elizabeth II was born at No. 17, the London home of her maternal grandfather, the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. The house was commonly thought to have been damaged in the Blitz and demolished in the aftermath, but archival documents at the British Library prove that the house had been demolished by property developers between 1937 and 1939, before the start of the war.
The fashion designer Norman Hartnell lived and worked at No. 26 from 1935 until his death in 1979.
