in 1532 Sir William Portman of Somerset, Lord Chief Justice to Henry VIII acquired land covering an area of 270 acres stretching from Oxford Street to Regents Canal. A large part of this land, now known as the Portman estate, is still owned by the Portman family. The current head of the family is the 10th Viscount Portman, born 1958.
