Brook House (Park Lane)
Brook House was a mansion and is now a block of flats in Mayfair, a prestigious and expensive district of central London. The building is located at 113 Park Lane and was constructed by Thomas Henry Wyatt from 1867 to 1869. It was the home of Edward VII's private banker Sir Ernest Cassel and his granddaughter, who became Edwina Mountbatten, Countess Mountbatten of Burma. Upon his death in 1921, she inherited it, and a decade later had it remodelled into flats.

Park Lane, London
Park Lane is a dual carriageway road in the City of Westminster in Central London. It is part of the London Inner Ring Road and runs from Hyde Park Corner in the south to Marble Arch in the north. It separates Hyde Park to the west from Mayfair to the east. The road has a number of historically important properties and hotels and has been one of the most sought after streets in London, despite being a major traffic thoroughfare. The road was originally a simple country lane on the boundary of Hyde Park, separated by a brick wall. Aristocratic properties appeared during the late 18th century, including Breadalbane House, Somerset House, and Londonderry House. The road grew in popularity during the 19th century after improvements to Hyde Park Corner and more affordable views of the park, which attracted the nouveau riche to the street and led to it becoming one of the most fashionable roads to live on in London. Notable residents included the 1st Duke of Westminster's res ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
