Built by Sir Ernest George in 1886 the house was designed for businessman Thomas Andros de la Rue, a printer of postage stamps, banknotes, and playing cards. Its position on the street at number 52 was no accident, honouring the number of cards in a standard deck.

Much has been said of Frieze London's refreshed layout in Regent's Park last week, which saw younger galleries positioned within the 'Focus' sector at the heart of the fair. Feedback was resoundingly positive, with Freddie Powell of London gallery Ginny on Frederick reporting a sold-out booth—a solo presentation by Charlotte Edey—on day one.
