From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Young (scientist), who lived at 48 Welbeck Street from 1799.

Welbeck Street is a street in the West End, central London, England.

The street runs approximately north-south between New Cavendish Street at the northern end, crossing Wigmore Street near Wigmore Hall just to the east, becoming Vere Street continuing southwards. The nearest tube station is Bond Street to the south.

In 1799, Thomas Young established himself as a physician in this street at No 48, now recorded by a blue plaque. The street was favoured by doctors at the time and is close to Harley Street, now famed for its concentration of private medical practitioners.
