UCLH Charity, the developer of the former Middlesex Hospital Annex and Strand Union Workhouse site, has applied to Camden Council to name the new street through the site as “Fitzroy Walk”.
The site which is currently under construction to create a mix of residential and commercial properties was known as the Bedford Passage Development, after a historic street name on the eastern side of the site.
But now the developer says “The Bedford Passage Development is now called Fitzroy Walk” and a public notice has been put up outside the site stating that an application has been made to Camden Council to register a new street name.
According to Camden Council, new street names should be logical, have some connection to the local area, and not be duplicated within the borough.
Camden says it will consult with the London Fire Brigade as they act on behalf of all emergency services, to make sure they do not have any objections.
The public can make comments on the application by email to streetnaming@camden.gov.uk until 22 March 2022.
