Standing on what was the original boundary wall of the Rutland Estate - named as it was the former site of Rutland House, home of the Dukes of Rutland - the hole in the wall was destroyed along with the wall by a bomb in autumn 1940. When the wall was rebuilt around 1948, local residents insisted the doorway was reinstated, and it continues to offer a convenient short cut between Ennismore Street and Rutland Street
