Site: Lord Byron - SW1 (1 memorial)
SW1, Bennet Street, 4
Byron lodged on the first floor of this 17th century house February 1813 - March 1814. It was, along with the adjacent No.5 and the Blue Posts public house, damaged or destroyed in the 1939-1945 war. The site was redeveloped in the late 1950s. The Blue Posts was rebuilt in 1956 and again in 2015.
