American presidents, diplomats, earls, aristocrats and MPs may all have graced the dancefloor of 17 Grosvenor Square in its grand history.
The house was originally constructed during the 1720s, as vast mansions were built to create the square.
The square, which takes its name from the Duke of Westminster's surname, was the vision of Sir Richard Grosvenor.
He obtained licences to start building in 1710, with the first of the opulent buildings taking shape in around 1721.
It became one of the most fashionable addresses in London with the early houses boasting five or seven bay windows across three storeys.
Like many of its neighbouring houses, No. 17 was rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries.
