Légende

Cambridge House, Piccadilly, the town residence of Lord Palmerston, 1865. 'Cambridge House, or rather, as Lord Palmerston, in dating his letters, preferred to style his town residence, 94, Piccadilly, is well known to everybody who has seen London. It was occupied by the late Duke of Cambridge, who died there in 1850, and Lord Palmerston has lived there ever since. Here were the Saturday evening receptions, at which Lord and Lady Palmerston, with that winning courtesy and hospitality which they made an instrument of political and social power, so frequently entertained a large number of the members of both Houses of Parliament and other persons of influence or position'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
