We moved to St.Peter’s Square, Hammersmith, designed by Loudon, in 1985, shortly before the birth of our first child. A largish South aspect four storey house, with views over the tree lined square, purchased for £325,000 then. We’d sold our previous abode in Roland Way, South Kensington, to Rowan Atkinson. I have to say that we spent twenty glorious years living there and two more children in between. The house was unspoiled, crooked door frames and a blue and white loo bowl featured in a book by Lucinda Lampton. Now completely stripped apparently and last time I looked it had been sold for around £3 million.
Dear Richard, Very nice to hear from you. Hope you’re well. Charles
