Sheridan's death at 7 Savile Row

"Irish-born playwright and MP, Richard Brinsley Sheridan lived at 14 Savile Row for a short time, before his death at 7 Savile Row in 1816.[11]" I am afraid this is not truth. Seems to be an error based on the error in J.Verne's book. I have not found any other resource confirming that. However one resource confirms he stayed at 17 Savile Row in 1812 for a while. http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/blue-plaques/sheridan-richard-brinsley-1751-1816-90 Titus Atomicus (talk) 02:00, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When and why did it become known as Savile Row rather than Savile Street?

The article says it was originally named Savile Street and that Pitt the Younger wrote letters from it when it was known as Savile Street. So when and why did it change to Savile Row? Paco2718 (talk) 17:28, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Landowner

The decription of who owns the land is being replaced by "Norwegian Oil Fund", as in: https://archive.nytimes.com/dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/08/11/norways-oil-fund-snaps-up-londons-savile-row/?_r=0 . "LONDON – The famed custom tailors of Savile Row have a new landlord. Norway’s oil fund, the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, is adding to its collection of high-end real estate by acquiring a 57.8 percent interest in the Pollen Estate, a parcel of properties in London’s elegant Mayfair district that includes Savile Row, the street renowned the world over for its bespoke suits."Richard Nowell (talk) 10:08, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
