2018: Winston Churchill.org writes: "... Winston Churchill and his family lived in a smart terraced house in London’s Eccleston Square for four years ... Churchill moved to Eccleston Square in 1908, a year after marrying Clementine Hozier. His first two children were born here – Diana in 1909 and Randolph in 1911. During Churchill’s time at the stunning house, built in 1835 by Thomas Cubitt, he was promoted to a number of senior positions in and out of the Cabinet. During this time he assisted in drafting the new social welfare system, the protection of workers’ rights and the introduction of the first minimum wage."

2025: Country Life reported that this 5-bedroom 2-level apartment is for sale: "Located on the lower ground and ground floor of a grand period property, Sir Winston Churchill called it ‘home’ during his early political career. One of Britain’s most revered leaders, Churchill lived at 34 Eccleston Square from 1909 to 1913. A newly-wed at the time, it’s where Diana and Randolph, his first two children, were born. During his time there, Churchill was made Home Secretary in 1910 and appointed First Lord of the Admiralty in 1911."
