Chandos House, Grade I listed building in Marylebone, England.

The five-story Georgian townhouse at 2 Queen Anne Street features a grand facade constructed with Craigleith stone from Scotland.

Robert Adam designed and built this residence between 1769 and 1771 with funding from his family and banker Sir George Colebrooke.

The building served as the Austrian embassy from 1815 to 1866, with Prince Esterhazy hosting numerous diplomatic gatherings over 25 years.

Located near Oxford Circus, Great Portland Street, and Regent's Park underground stations, the house underwent a £5 million renovation in 2005.

Anna Eliza Brydges, Duchess of Chandos, remained confined within these walls following the death of her husband in 1789 until 1815.
