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:

    You take my house when you do take the prop
    That doth sustain my house; you take my life
    When you do take the means whereby I live.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
