if you view the actual image (not just the transcription) on Ancestry, you can then go back through the images to find a street name - looks like Kensington Garden Square, and that Ethel Pearson was at number 46 with the head of the house being Effie J Dunster, occupation housekeeper, there are lots of people in the house so looks like it was some sort of boarding house

if you are viewing the image and click at top where it says (in this case) St John, Paddington (i.e. immediately before the district number, you then get a list of districts and can view a description of ED 23, which then gives a list of all the street addresses which form part of the district - unfortunately it doesn't give any more detailed info

Could you tell us who you have found please?

Perhaps seeing the census will help us to answer.
