Site: John Nash terrace - WC1 - EH (1 memorial)

WC1, Great Russell Street, 66

Nash designed this terrace of six houses, now numbered 66 - 71. He also reconstructed the house at the other end, on the corner of Bloomsbury Square, making two houses from it, now the German Historical Institute. Nash lived at No 66 (the one with this plaque) which is his only surviving London residence. EH give more information. See also the non-EH plaque for the same terrace.
