English Heritage

Tony Benn knew Menon personally.

Site: Krishna Menon - N6 (1 memorial)

N6, Langdon Park Road, 30

The Hindu claims that this was "where he lived when he first moved to the city" and "where he lived from 1929 to 1931" all of which contradicts the claim on his NW1 plaque that he lived there "1924 to 1947".
