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:

    As far as I can see, this autumn haze
    That spreading in the evening air both ways
    Makes the new moon look anything but new
    And pours the elm-tree meadow full of blue,
    Is all the smoke from one poor house alone....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
