You could try trade directories.  They would list occupants/businesses house by house.  London Metropolitan Archives has a full set going way back.  Also lots on ancestry and some free on line digitized by Univ of Leicester:

Do you know an approximate date?

Thankyou Tittensor for your reply

Sorry for the delay in the return, busy looking at Trade Directories. With no luck!

Don't know the approximate date sorry to say.

Anymore help would be great.
The Address was printed on paper and glued inside a Old wooden Violin Case.

In the 1950's Lloyds Bank (part of the same group now) were there, preceeded by Morris Goodman trading as Lamben Aluminium Co in 1924, in 1902 jewellery manufacturers Hirschhorn Ullman & Co., 1897 Henry Harburg & co watch importers,

These turn up in the London Gazette by searching on 6 Holborn Circus as 'the exact phrase'.

Without a date and for speed, you really need access to historical original copies, the online ones take so long to load.

Thanks Dawnsh

It looks as if this is going to take while.
