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:

    This house was designed and constructed with the freedom of stroke of a forester’s axe, without other compass and square than Nature uses.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
