Sir Osbert Sitwell

Inscription

Park Lane Group
Sir Osbert Sitwell Bt CH, author and essayist, lived here, 1919 - 63.

Wondering why the Park Lane Group, a musical charity, should erect this plaque we discovered that Sir Osbert's nephew, Francis Sitwell, was at one time chairman of the Park Lane Group.

The BBC (who else?) have a good post about their time here. Pity this plaque had no room to mention John Logie Baird.
