Northumberland House

Northumberland House was a large Jacobean mansion in London, which was so called because for most of its history it was the London residence of the Percy family, who were the Earls and later Dukes of Northumberland, and were one of England's richest and most prominent aristocratic dynasties for many centuries. It stood at the far western end of The Strand from around 1605 until it was demolished in the late 1860s. In its later years it overlooked Trafalgar Square.
