Petty France is a road in the City of Westminster in central London.
Among the buildings that currently line the street is 102 Petty France, which houses the Ministry of Justice.
History
In the 18th century was described by John Stow as "a considerable street between Tathill Street, E., and James Street, W".[2] The name is generally thought to refer to the settlement of Huguenot refugees in the area.[3]
The name is also used to refer to the area in the vicinity of the street, the 7th Ward of Westminster.[3] It is also similar to the name of a street in Billingsgate in the City of London called Petty Wales.[3]
In the second half of the 18th century "the name was changed to York Street from Frederick, Duke of York, son of George II., who had made a temporary residence amongst them".[4][a] A name it retained up until around 1925, when its previous name was restored.[b]
The street was the original location in 1720 of the Westminster Public Infirmary.[citation needed] It was the first street in London to paved for pedestrians,[5] and it was the location of the first custom built artificial ice-ring in in London, icalled Niagara, it opened in the late 1800s.[6] The street was also the home for 50 years until 2002 of the London passport office at Clive House; it is now located at Globe House in Eccleston Square, Victoria.[7]
