Warren Street was built as a residential street, named after the family of the first Lady Southampton. According to the building leases, most of its houses went up between 1790 and 1792, two of them as early as 1777. By 1949, when the Survey of London described it, shops had been put into most of the houses and the street was "largely given over to business".
Homes above the shops on Warren Street
The terraces are of stock brick, and several are listed at Grade II. Nos. 20 and 21, a pair from about 1792, have four storeys over a basement and a shop window each at street level; both were listed in 1974. The homes in houses like these start one floor up, reached by a staircase, and the kitchens in flats like these are often small, with room for a built-in single under the worktop or a slim freestanding cooker.
The Census shows how common that is. In Camden 026B, the Census area that runs south from Warren Street past Fitzroy Square towards Goodge Street, 10.1% of the 631 households in 2021 lived in a commercial building, such as a flat over a shop or in an office building. Across Camden the figure was 2.4%. Another 22.7% lived in part of a converted or shared house.
An upstairs flat means stairs. Racks, trays and side runners come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, while the cavity, the fan cover and the door glass are degreased by hand in the kitchen. Dust sheets go down before anything is taken out.
One former resident wrote about cooking. Dr William Kitchiner, whose book The Cook's Oracle first came out in 1817 and sold widely, lived at No. 43 on the north side, held select dinners there and died in the house in 1827; it has since been rebuilt.

Parking a van in zone CA-E
Warren Street is in Camden's CA-E Bloomsbury zone, controlled from 8.30am to 6.30pm on weekdays and on Saturdays. In those hours a tradesperson's van in a resident bay needs a Camden trade permit, which the council sells to service providers working for a local resident or business. The zone is set by the Camden address, and red routes, paid bays and housing estates are excluded. Across Euston Road, the Regent's Park Estate is a different zone and has its own page.
Questions from Warren Street flats
My flat is three floors above a shop. Is that a problem?
No. The cavity, fan cover and door glass are cleaned by hand in your kitchen. Tell us the floor when you call.
Is a Saturday easier for parking than a weekday?
Not in CA-E, where Saturday is controlled from 8.30am to 6.30pm like a weekday. Sunday has no controlled hours, and weekend visits cost the weekday price.
Do I need to do anything before you arrive?
Switch the oven off in good time so it is cool when we arrive, and make sure there is a working socket we can use.
Said after the sign-off
Arrived promptly and did a great job cleaning the oven, hob and extractor. They look like new now and for a very reasonable price too.
Nice hardworking lads that always do a good job. We used them for our old flat when moving out and for the new one now, both jobs were done very professionally. My wife is very impressed with the results and would recommend them to friends and family.
Once again a great job guys, I will see you in a couple of months.
