Gwydyr House, Government building in Whitehall, Westminster, England
Gwydyr House features an imposing Palladian window above its oak doors and stands opposite Dover House on the eastern side of Whitehall street.
Built in 1772 for Peter Burrell at a cost of £6,000, the house takes its name from his son who became the first Baron Gwydyr.
The building served as temporary quarters for the Reform Club between 1838 and 1840 before transitioning to various official governmental purposes.
The structure now operates as the London headquarters of the Wales Office and houses the Greater London Lieutenancy under Kenneth Olisa.
The building appears in the BBC series Yes Minister as the Department for Administrative Affairs, featuring its recognizable Palladian window and exterior.
