About this book
Wanderings in London, Piccadilly, Mayfair, and Pall Mall is by E. Beresford Chancellor. A note on the map says a map of the district will be found within the two covers of the book to facilitate the wanderings of inexperienced pilgrims, more especially of those from America. The text says Chesterfield House faces Hyde Park through Stanhope Street and was built by the great Earl of Chesterfield in 1749, Ware being the architect.
The text describes the famous bow window of White's, where the dandies used to assemble to quiz the ladies on their way to the drawing-rooms. The text says of the club that its history has been written and fills two large volumes, and that in the old days they used to bet on anything and everything. The text says another important house in the Square was Downshire House, built in 1793, and once the residence of Lord Hillsborough.
