Forbes House, Grade II listed mansion in City of Westminster, England
Forbes House is a three-story mansion with a yellow brick facade featuring nine windows and classical stucco dressings. The building includes architraved windows topped with pediments and a distinctive bomb balcony at the first floor level.
The mansion was built in the early to mid-19th century and received Grade II listing status in 1970. This designation protects it as an important example of London's Victorian residential architecture.
The building reflects architectural tastes of wealthy Westminster neighborhoods, with its triple-arched entrance and decorative stonework that shaped the district's character. These design choices remain visible in how the street appears to visitors today.
The mansion sits near Hyde Park Corner with strong transportation connections in the Knightsbridge area. Its central location makes it easy to reach by public transport and nearby roads are accessible for viewing from the street.
The building features an unusual bomb balcony at the first floor that reflects defensive measures from wartime. This architectural detail reveals the structure's adaptation to historical threats that affected London.
