18 Kensington Square, London

Kensington Square was laid out in 1685 and still has a few of its early-18th century houses. The square became an important artistic haunt in the 19th century, attracting such artists as Edward Burne-Jones, the Pre-Raphaelite painter and illustrator, who lived at No. 41; the novelist William Makepeace

Thackery, who lived at No. 16 and John Stuart Mill (1806 – 1873) was a philosopher and civil servant.

 

Patrick Baty of Papers and Paints was asked to offer advice on the selection of paints and colours that might be appropriate.
