New mansions in Park Lane, 1903
New mansions built in Park Lane in 1903, one of the most prestigious addresses in London. On the left is the home of Mr R. W. Hudson and on the right, that of Sir Edward Albert Sassoon. Sir Edwards house was built in 1895-6 by T. H.Smith and C. E. Sayer for Barney Barnato a South African. The house was 13, 000 square feet, had a four-storey-high marble staircase, a conservatory a winter garden and a ballroom. Later renumbered as 4 Park Lane, it became in the 1960s the home of the Playboy Club. It stood just across the street from the mock medieval mansion built for R.W. Hudson, the soap manufacturer, on the site of a dignified Queen Anne house which had belonged to the Earls of Lanesborough. Hudsons astonishing edifice, all stone curlicues and leaded Gothic windows, is the sole survivor today of Park Lanes era of plutocratic fantasy. Today it is a Barclays Bank. Date: 1903

Park Lane, 1903: A Sneak Peek into London's Exclusive Millionaires' Row Step back in time to the early 20th century and join us on a journey down London's most prestigious address, Park Lane. In this photograph from 1903, we witness the construction of two grand mansions that once stood as symbols of wealth and opulence. On the left, we find the residence of Mr. R.W. Hudson, a prominent soap manufacturer. His mansion, a marvel of stone curlicues and leaded Gothic windows, is the only survivor of Park Lane's era of plutocratic fantasy still standing today. It is now home to a Barclays Bank, but in 1903, it was a sight to behold. Across the street, Sir Edward Albert Sassoon's magnificent house graces the right side of the image. Built in 1895-96 for Barney Barnato, a South African entrepreneur, the house boasted an impressive 13,000 square feet, a four-storey-high marble staircase, a conservatory, a winter garden, and a ballroom. Later renumbered as 4 Park Lane, it became famous in the 1960s as the home of the Playboy Club. This photograph offers a glimpse into London's history of wealth and grandeur, a time when Park Lane was synonymous with the city's elite. The mansions, with their Victorian elegance and Victorian-era charm, represent a bygone era of opulence and luxury that continues to fascinate us today.
