Leicester House

There have been two mansions in London, England called Leicester House:

  • A house in the Strand near the Temple: Leicester House, Strand. This existed in the Tudor period, and possibly earlier (and was also known as Essex House).
  • A 17th century mansion from which Leicester Square takes its name. See the article about the square for further details.

Famous quotes containing the word house:

    In my grandmother’s house there was always chicken soup
    And talk of the old country—mud and boards,
    Poverty,
    The snow falling down and necks of lovers.
    Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
