Alban's (St.) Street, Pall Mall, a small street removed, 1815, to make way for Waterloo Place and Regent Street, so called after Henry Jermyn, Earl of St. Alban, from whom Jermyn Street also derives its name. Its name is preserved in St. Alban's Place, a paved passage running from Charles Street to Jermyn Street, parallel to the Haymarket. St. Evremond, after being driven from France, writes, on his second visit to England, "November 23, 1678 ... Je suis logé dans St. Alban's Street au loin."
