It was once better known for its brothels and lodging houses, but since the Edwardian era, antique shops and high-end fashion boutiques have dominated the street.^[1]

Beauchamp Place originally referred to a 16th-century mansion belonging to the Seymour family, whose titles included Viscount Beauchamp. It belonged to Edward Seymour, Viscount Beauchamp, who became the Earl of Hertford and was the son of a Lord Protector of England.^[2]
