'Pindar Place' was the 19th century name for the west side of Grays Inn Road between Cromer and Harrison streets and also probably for the short, narrow cul-de-sac that then existed between these two side streets (see detail from Edward Stanford's 1862-71 Library Map of London elsewhere on this page). There were flats and several shops in this area (see records below). Most likely Pindar Place was named after the Pindar of Wakefield on Grays Inn Road.
