This early Georgian House became the home of a master cabinet maker from 1875.  The workshop he founded continued here and in a shop behind for over sixty years.  Lodgers during this period included architect Thomas Bridson and Sir Geoffrey Langdon Keynes, the distinguished surgeon and bibliophile.

Air Commodore Constantine Benson, a director of the City banking house Robert Benson, Lonsdale & Co., lived here for many years from the late 1930s.  Neighbours in the street included the actor John Gielgud, Lord Reith of the BBC and numerous MPs.
