The world’s only surviving home of Benjamin Franklin, one of America’s founding fathers, who lived here from 1757 to 1775. During his years in London, Franklin served as a colonial agent representing several American colonies to the British government. From this very house, he worked to ease growing tensions between Britain and the colonies—efforts that ultimately failed as the path toward the American Revolution became unavoidable. Today, the house stands as a rare physical link between London and the birth of the United States.

This statue of George Washington, the first President of the United States, stands in Grosvenor Square as a powerful symbol of the historic ties between Britain and America. A gift from the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1921, it honors the leader of the American Revolution on British soil. Legend holds that the soil beneath the statue was brought from Virginia, allowing Washington—who never set foot in Britain—to stand only on American ground.
