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.
