Sir Noel Coward, 1899 - 1973, actor, playwright and songwriter, born here.
English Heritage
TW1, Waldegrave Road, 131
The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography says Coward was born at number 5. This house is the end house in a terrace of 7 so we can't see how it could ever have been numbered 5. But it's an EH plaque so we trust they have identified the right house.
