Hill Street


Berkeley Square. (W1) Name derived from Hay Hill Farm, which stood hereabouts. In this street the great lawyer and patriot, Lord Chancellor Camden, died in 1794. The literary Lord Lyttelton lived in Hill Street, as did also the late Lord Brougham, at No. 5, in 1824; and Thomas Raikes, the fashionable journalist, lived at No. 13. (Reference: Jesse's London, vol. I, p. 55)
