Birth of Architect Edwin Lutyens
This is where celebrated architect Sir Edwin Lutyens was born.
Location: 16 Onslow Square, South Kensington
Description: Sir Edwin Lutyens, acclaimed architect, was the man credited with designing the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London the UK's national war memorial.
He was largely a self-trained architect of some renown, designing more than 35 country houses including Castle Drogo in Devon and the refurbishment of Northumberland's spectacularly sited Lindisfarne Castle.
