Reader review

"Not just the history of a house but a brilliant romp through the social history of England. Perry has enlivened an accurate architectural account of the thrills and spills which this Adam building endured over two centuries as a private residence, with a liberal sprinkling of wit and anecdote. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I read of the three-month opening party of the Lansdowne Club. Bills sent by sturvesant tube sparked off an orgy of free hospitality, when the hall porters misunderstood the appliance. Superb colour pictures throughout augment the glories of this book."

This skillfully woven account combines history and architecture with wonderful anecdotes and personal recollections about a remarkable and memorable building. Drawing on detailed original research from unpublished sources and beautifully illustrated throughout, The House in Berkeley Square is fascinating, informative and delightfully entertaining
