I believe the charm of a London mews comes from its tucked-away location. A small alley of calm hidden from the hustle of a busy street.
Do you know where the name 'mews' comes from? Once upon a time, they were for horses and carriages, behind grand houses, sometimes with servants' quarters above. These days, they are highly desirable residential homes.
The word 'mew' means moulting, as this was also where royal hawks were kept during the season their feathers moulted, and they weren't used for hunting.
