Description: | This booklet, produced by the Metropolitan Railway Country Estates Limited (M.R.C.E.), provides information about Chiltern Court, the large residential development commissioned by the Metropolitan Railway. The front cover is illustrated with a pencil drawing of Chiltern Court, above Baker Street station.
The development, which extended along Marylebone Road from Baker Street to Allsop Place, contained 180 high-class residential flats, a 250-seat restaurant, a hairdressing salon and 30 separate bedrooms for housemaids.
The M.R.C.E. promoted the site as being close to the City, Regents Park, West End theatres and shopping, as well as within easy access of Metro-Land, London's countryside via the railway. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Home and Family | Temporal: | 1934 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Printer : Knapp, Drewett & Sons Ltd | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
