Monmouth House, Soho Square, London
A 17th-century mansion in Soho Square (then called King's Square) built for the Duke of Monmouth, the oldest illegitimate son of King Charles II. After the Duke's execution for trying to lead a rebellion against the unpopular Catholic successor to Charles, James II, the house was owned by the Bateman family and loaned to various important people including the French ambassador before being demolished in 1773
