if you use streetmap and put in Lupus Street and SW1 - its roughly opposite the end of Cumberland Street and Sutherland Street where theres a road that looks like Glas. Terrace its within spitting distanceof Princess Anne's house

Caledonia Street is the street right next to Millbank Distillery - roughly where the Tate Gallery is today. See http://www.motco(.)com/map/81006/ (remove brackets) - this is a great on-line map of Victorian London complete with clickable street index and absolutely indispensable for anyone with London ancestors. It can be slow to load, especially if you have a dial-up connection. There was also a Caledonia Street right next to St Pancras Station, a stones throw from the Caledonian Road.

Here's another site, for "lost" London streets. http://members.aol(.)com/WHall95037/london.html according to this site, there was a Caledonia PLACE in Pimlico, "Caledonia Place, Pimlico A-Z Ref 5G 77 - Now Gone - Was where Churchill Gardens was built. "

according to this page: http://www.gendocs.demon(.)co(.)uk/lonstr_c.html there was one in Pimlico which is probs the one you need. try contacting the Westminster Archives to see if they can tell you where it's equivalent would be now

Thanks Zoe I realize that it is Calidonian Road but just thought that there could be a connection as Calidonia Street does not excist on the street map now . Val

unlikely - theres a fair distance between Westminster (right on the river north side) and Kings Cross (about three or four miles north). the Kings Cross street is actually Caledonian Road

I have found my gr gr grand father on the 1871 census and he was living in Calidonia Street St Geoges Sq Westminster,it looks as if a lot the people living in the road where Tailors. What i am wondering is Calidonian Road near Kings Cross station the same road . I am not that familiar with London so if anyone can help would be very gratefull. Val
