The 1st one way street in London was Albermarle St I think it was either the late 1980's or early 1900's
Sorry typo 1890's or early 1900's
1903, Albermarle Street, to ease the congestion caused by the popularity of the Faraday Lecture Theatre when the Curies' demonstrated their newly discovered radium.
Ethel - once again you make me feel humble..
The Royal Institution gave London its first one-way street. A night out at the Royal Institution was one of the hottest tickets in town. Charles Dickens, Prince Albert and every other Victorian celebrity fought for front-row tickets to hear Humphry Davy and his fellow pioneers of science. Their carriages so thoroughly clogged Albemarle Street that in 1808 they were instructed to proceed one way only.
