Excellent shots, as ever, Jack, and a fascinating historyof the sequence of remarkable tenants of this building. People who have helped to shape the world.

Stayed there a few years ago, but didn’t know the history. And I was a computer programmer!

Have you ever visited West Horsley Place? It’s just around the corner from there and was used as “Button House” in the TV series Ghosts. We did the “Nooks & Crannies” tour there and found the house’s history absolutely fascinating. The house is not as it seems, the front brick facade is actually a false wall built in the 1600s to hide the original house. Well worth a visit.

near there & always wondered about it. Doesn’t the clock tower look like the one at the Horniman Museum…
