Aldford House in 1918
The ground floor plan of Beit's mansion in 1898, including a billiard room and winter garden.[1]

Aldford House was a grand mansion built on London's

diamond magnate, Alfred Beit.[2] The architects were the Scottish partnership of Eustace Balfour and Hugh Thackeray Turner.[2] Its style was somewhat Jacobean but it was not well-received and was demolished in 1929.[3] A block of flats with the same name was then constructed on the site by the architectural partnership of George Val Myer and F. J. Watson-Hart, advised by Edwin Lutyens.[4]
