Bruton Street is a street in London's Mayfair district.

On 21 April 1926, Queen Elizabeth II was born at No. 17, the London home of her maternal grandfather, the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. The house was commonly thought to have been damaged in the Blitz and demolished in the aftermath, but archival documents at the British Library prove that the house had been demolished by property developers between 1937 and 1939, before the start of the war.
The fashion designer Norman Hartnell lived and worked at No. 26 from 1935 until his death in 1979.
