Antrobus Street, now demolished, was long called Rutland Street.
The cottages on the west side of Rutland Street were built by William Farlar, the developer of Brompton Square, who acquired the ground in 1830. On the eastern side of the street, built up from 1826 to c. 1830, the chief builder seems to have been bricklayer Henry Adams, a bricklayer of Pimlico who, in 1851, was employing eight men.
The northern arm of the street (originally called both Rutland Terrace and Michael Street) was incorporated with the southern arm in 1874, when the whole street was renumbered.
The Antrobus Street renaming may have occurred in 1937.
Antrobus Street disappeared following the Blitz and subsequent redevelopment. The street was swallowed up by the re-development which is now the Churchill Gardens Estate. This was the largest housing scheme by Westminster City Council, was built in four sections between 1946 and 1962.
