Help with street name please

[nellie d]

I am having trouble locating a certain London street from the 1700’s.
I have scoured old maps of the area but cannot find anything that might be the street I am looking for.
The street in question is recorded in the baptism entry of John Rowland, son of William and Elizabeth Rowland in the “London, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812”, for 7th July 1737 at St George in the East, Tower Hamlets.
It is abbreviated to what looks like G Her Street.
I looked on www.maps.thehunthouse.com but it hasn’t really lead me anywhere.
I will add a screen shot.
Does anyone have any ideas please?

G meaning Great?

G meaning Great?

Could be Great Hermitage Street.

I second Great Hermitage Street. On Page 10 of the register:

Could be Great Hermitage Street.

Thank you fiddlerslass, I wondered that too, but on

It says that Great Hermitage Street was called Russell’s Buildings pre 1912 😬

1795 map - Great Hermitage Street

18th Century Collections often give the address as "Great Hermitage Street, Hermitage" but Thomas Harper in his "The Accomptant's companion; or young mathematician guide; ...", published 1765 has -

"Mr Ferguson, Master of the Academy in Great Hermitage Street, Wapping".

This is the earliest newspaper reference that I can see: strangely from the Derby Mercury, 12 August 1784.

Also, two mentions in  The Compleat Counting-House Companion or Young Merchant and Tradesman's Sure Guide by a Society of Merchants and Tradesmen; London; 1763

Chapter XVII [Gazetteer]
Great Hermitage Street, in the Hermitage
Matthas's Court, Great Hermitage Street
