Sutton Row has existed since 1681.
Sutton Row is marked on a map of 1681 as Giles Street, but until 1938 was generally known as Sutton Street.
It probably takes its name from Sutton Court, Chiswick, the country house of Thomas, first Earl Fauconberg who lived in Soho Square between 1683 until 1700. A mews on the north side of Sutton Row is now called Falconberg Mews (previously Bow Street) and Falconberg Court (formerly Crown Street or Hog Lane), leading to Charing Cross Road . Both are mentioned by Strype, writing in 1720, who refers to the latter as Tucker’s Court.
Sutton Row’s main building is St Patrick’s Church.
