London Walks guide & Daily
Constitutional Associate Editor Richard III introduces us to his favourite
London street…
My favourite street in Soho, Meard Street,
built in the 1720s, is beautifully preserved. It was named after the builder. You
can almost picture the Huguenots in these photographs. This house is being renovated…
You can see how they didn't plaster the
walls and put on paint or wallpaper, they placed wooden panels straight over the
brick.
These are Grade One Listed and they can't
change the interior. Two or three doors down (after the sign "this is not
a brothel') the house went for £7.3 million last year.
(DC Editor Adam adds: The "This Is Not
A Brothel" sign to which Richard refers can be seen HERE.)
