The building on the site of the former residence of Dick Whittington has been converted into 8 luxury apartments in the City of London. The refurbishment at Whittington House, 19-20 College Hill, completed in August and the flats are now selling from £574,950.
More famously known as the inspiration for a pantomime character, Richard Whittington was less famously known as a medieval merchant, a politician, a sheriff and of course the Mayor of London on four occasions. A benefactor to many things associated with the City, not least the financing of a public toilet in the parish of St Martin Vintry that was cleansed by the River Thames at high tide.
Nice!
