NW3, Fitzjohn's Avenue, 3, Hyme House

During de Lazslo's residence many celebrities came here for their portrait sittings. Following the de Laszlos the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross took over the house, and then the two next door as well, numbers 5 and 7, creating a girls' school which operated until 1985. The house then became a hotel.

In 2009 this house, built in 1886, and the two to the north were demolished, leaving only some facades in place.  2013 - we found this sales website: "De Laszlo House provides just 18 magnificent two, three and four bedroom residences" etc, etc.
