History South Street extends across the southernmost part of the Grosvenor Estate (hence its name), and was first developed in the 1730's and No. 38 was constructed between 1920 and 1922. The official architects were Edmund Wimperis (The Grosvenor Estate Surveyor) and his partner W. B. Simpson. However, 38 South Street was in fact almost entirely designed by the young John Murray Easton who was later responsible for the Royal Horticultural Society's New Hall of 1926 - 1928.

Built in a Neo-Georgian style for the industrialist, Henry McLaren, Later Baron Aberconway. An imposing Mansion of 22,788 sq.ft with an adjoining house offering ancillary accommodation of 8,651 sq.ft. Both properties have a southerly aspect over and access into one of Mayfair's Secret Gardens.
