The History of the Townhouse
The site of our Townhouse was at one time part of the medieval maidens' leper colony of St Stephen's. Later, the edifice of Henry VIII's tennis court occupied much of 3 St James's Street and part of this structure, built in 1531, can be viewed whilst walking down the passage from St James's Street to Pickering Place.
The present square was completed by the family back in 1734 and comprised the four houses which still stand today. At that time Pickering Place was given over to sports such as dog-fighting, bear-baiting, cock-fighting and even bare knuckle boxing, all providing an active if vivid passing trade for Berry Bros. & Rudd.
Before the close of the 18th century the final duel with swords was fought to the death inside the discrete perimeter of the square, and a further duel was fought with pistols as late as the middle of the 19th century. Today, Pickering Place is a rather more tranquil spot but one which retains much memory of its former days. Read more about the history of our Townhouse on the Berry Bros. & Rudd blog.
