Lord North Street
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lord North Street is a short street of Georgian[1] terraced housing running between Smith Square and Great Peter Street in Westminster, the political heartland of British government. As such they have always commanded high fees and featured in many dramatic storylines[2]. Past residents include the socialite Sibyl Colefax[3], founder of the Colefax and Fowler fabrics and wallpaper company [4], and Harold Wilson, four times Prime minister who in November 1974 alleged that renegade MI5 operatives had broken into his home [5]. More recent residents include Jonathan Aitken[6] and Theresa Gorman[7].
