The Mark Glenn studio is situated in Lancashire Court on London's famous New Bond Street, right in the fashionable centre of one of the greatest cities in the world.


History

Our charming studio resides in a listed building steeped in historical significance, first developed in the 1720's. From the original oak flooring in our ground floor reception and lounge to the wonky walls in the basement work area, the building's history is evident.

The shape of the Lancashire Court site - today, home to around 9 businesses - is dictated by the River Tyburn which still flows under Avery Row. In the 13th century, water for the City of London was supplied from here.

Some of the famous people who've lived in the area are, in New Bond Street, Lord Nelson and - a few doors away - Lady Hamilton. Lancashire Court includes what was the home of composer George Frederick Handel (he wrote "Messiah" here) and also, the lodgings of Jimi Hendrix, with both of these homes earning historic "blue plaques". Handel's house, where he lived for 36 years, has been restored to its original glory and made into an impressive museum dedicated to his life and works.
