The city of Westminster, once the residence of Peers, courtiers and poets, is perhaps the most interesting district of London. This book takes us from Westminster to St James through the aristocratic heart of Royal London. Buckingham Palace, Pall Mall, St James Palace, Carlton House and Marlborough House, are visited. London's clubland and the history of famous clubs like the Reform , the Athenaeum , the Carlton and many more are covered. There have been hundreds of famous and infamous residents in this area, from the notorious Captain Blood to Prince Louis Napoleon. Two royal mistresses lived in Pall Mall, Nell Gwynne and Mrs Fitzherbert. Both their houses and many more are illustrated here.Product Identifiers
