Whitehall Court

Whitehall Court is a historic mixed-use building located in the City of Westminster, London, featuring two distinct constructions completed in the late 19th century. The southern section, designed by Thomas Archer and A. Green, was built as luxury apartments in 1884, while the northern section, home to the National Liberal Club, was designed by Alfred Waterhouse and finished in 1887. Notable figures such as William Gladstone and George Bernard Shaw have resided here. The building served as the headquarters for the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) until the end of World War I. Today, it houses the Royal Horseguards Hotel and various clubs, with a rich history that includes a tragic incident in 1969 involving the Governor-General of Guyana.
