Just discovered my grandmothers christening in this church, could one of the map experts, identify the location please and also two 'nearby' streets - 5 Portland Place, Johnstone Street and also 1bk57 Steward Street as on the same date as she was christened, her mothers brothers daughter was also christened. This was 1887 and the Portland Court address has not been seen in any census addresses, which 1861,71 & 91 were Grosvenor? Street. Thank you in advance.

Steward St (green line) is a bit further away...

There are no numbers but if the numbers are the same as 1951, then number 61 is the first house on the bottom left and they go up sequentially. So on the right side it would be 60, 59, 58 and so on but the houses are gone by then so not sure which it is.

Following the pink line down off the map would lead into Monument Road.
