202 St Mary’s Road somewhere in London - where?

Here is St Mary’s Road:

You can zoom in and out and select different maps, though this one is one of the clearest despite not being in your 1930s time frame.

If 202 was just a normal house it is possible that the mother was staying with relatives or friends when she gave birth.

Thanks for this. He will like the old map, so that’s great, cheers.

If you have FindMyPast you can search for St Mary's Road, West Ham C B , Essex in the 1939 Register.
The closest is 201 or 203 but you can look at the map from 1939 as well as a recent map.
The  full address is St Mary's Road, Upton Park, Newham, West Ham C B , Essex, England

I don’t think this link will take you to the right area, but if you enter Plaistow into the search box and locate St Mary’s Road, select the 1939 map. It is not too different from the earlier map. There don’t seem to be any obvious institutions and no numbering so it doesn’t really help:

Thank you. I can’t work out how to narrow it down from 16000 results. I’ve put in the house number and exact road name but can’t work out how to narrow or down to to sort them in house number order?

Choose search for address then put St Mary's Road and West Ham CB
2 results, it's the first one, go right to the end.

Sorry, I’m not very good with FindMyPast yet. How do I search for address? I am clicking search but it brings up the general box with boxes for names etc. I’ve tried the horizontal stripes top right ‘search” but it doesn’t have a search an address section. Can you explain slowly please?  (Apologies)

I click search at the top of the page then choose 1939 Register
At the top of the 1939 Register page it says search for person/address
click address then fill in street and borough


ADDED
When you get the map up, an icon bottom left shows different years
