Harry Mallaby-Deeley

Politician. He sat as MP for Harrow and then Willesden East, and was renowned for rarely if ever speaking in the house. He was more successful as a property dealer, and in 1913 purchased the whole of the Duke of Bedford's Covent Garden estate for £2 million, (more than the equivalent of £220 million in 2018).
