Overlooking
Green
Park at the end of the Mall,
this royal residence was rebuilt for Frederick, Duke of York
in 1825.
The architect was Benjamin Dean
Wyatt, who was also responsible for the Duke of Wellington's
splendid home, Apsley House, No.1 London.
Queen Victoria was much impressed
by the splendour of the neo-classical mansion. In 1848
Chopin played here for Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and the
Duke of Wellington.
Today, Lancaster House is used
for government receptions and conferences.
Worth a look if you are passing.
