Architecture worth looking up at - can you spot the monkey
Location: Chiltern Street
Description: On the south side of Marylebone Road almost opposite Madam Tussauds is Chiltern Street.
On the right side of Chiltern Street is Portman Mansions. If you look up to the top of the buildings you will see that one has a monkey with a long tail while another has a hunchback in the style of Quasimodo.
