London was a city Churchill both knew and loved. "He was a Londoner. He was a total Londoner," says Sir Martin Gilbert, Churchill's highly respected official biographer. Although Churchill was born at Blenheim Palace, the 18th-century country estate in Woodstock just outside Oxford, which belonged to his grandfather, he spent most of his life in London.

Curiously, however, as much as Londoners venerate their great war leader and prolific author, and, more generally, highlight the houses of famous people with blue plaques and places of historical interest with bronze plates, Churchill's homes and haunts in London remain largely unmarked.
