Notes
The three plots washed in yellow belonging to Sir Drummond Smith - next to the house built for him by S. P. Cockerell c.1795 (the coach house shown in rough outline) - have a shared frontage of 96 feet and face south on to Piccadilly. The plan relates to land leased from the Crown by Smith for development; Dance-Holland buying the site immediately next to Smith's house as well as a nearby mews site. By 1812, Boyle's Court Guide listed Lady Catherine Tilney Long, the Duke of Bedford, Earl Cork, Lord Lucan and the Earl of Buckinghamshire as living at 1-5 Hamilton Place.
