Spencer House, London

Spencer House is a mansion in St James's, London. It was commissioned by John, 1st Earl Spencer, in 1756, who wanted a large London house to uphold his status. It is one of the first examples of the neoclassical style in London which then swept the country. It was the home of successive Earls and Countesses Spencer until 1895, when the house was let. It was used as a club and as offices. Today the house is open to the public for viewing, and also available for hire. It plays host to events of London high society.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
