Ashburnham House, Grade I listed residence in Westminster, England.

The seventeenth-century house stands within Little Dean's Yard, featuring a grand staircase and multiple elegant drawing rooms on the first floor.

The building incorporated parts of a medieval Prior's House, with stone embrasures in the ground floor room indicating construction before the monastery's dissolution.

The property served as the repository for the Cotton library, housing constitutional manuscripts that now form essential components of the British Library collection.

The building operates as part of Westminster School, with selected public access opportunities to view the architectural elements and historical rooms.

During World War II, the house functioned as a Royal Air Force communications station under the cover name 'The Churchill Club' for senior military meetings.
