Originally, Baker Street addresses ran from number 1 (on the east side at Portman Square) up to 42 (on the east side at Paddington Street) and then from 44 (on the west side at Paddington Street down to number 85 (on the west side back at Portman Square).

When Upper Baker Street was incorporated and the numbering was extended north of Marylebone Street, a "number 221" was at last created and that is where today's "blue plaque" is to be found.
