​​Bleeding Heart Yard is a cobbled courtyard off Greville Street in the Holborn area of the London borough of Camden. The courtyard is probably named after a 16th-century inn sign dating back to the Reformation that was displayed on a pub called the Bleeding Heart in nearby Charles Street. The inn sign showed the heart of the Virgin Mary pierced by five swords (Wikipedia)

​​64 Bleeding Heart Yard is named after the seventeenth century myth of Lady Elizabeth Hatton, daughter of Christopher Hatton. Legend has it, Lady Hatton made a pact with the devil to secure wealth, position, and a mansion in Holborn. During the housewarming of the mansion, the devil danced with her, then tore out her heart, which was found, still beating, in the courtyard the next morning.
