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:
“The wheels and springs of man are all set to the hypothesis of the permanence of nature. We are not built like a ship to be tossed, but like a house to stand.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
