It was the primary residence of the Jencks family from 1978 until Charles Jencks death in 2019 (Maggie, for whom the Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres are named, died in 1995). The house is Grade I listed.

Dickens Walk in Southwark. www.walksoflondon.co.uk/31/index.shtml The old London Bridge had several of these niches along it, and young David Copperfield often took shelter in them. The niche dates from 1176; it was purchased by Guy's Hospital for 10 guineas and installed in this courtyard in 1861. The bronze statue is of the poet John Keats, who trained at Guy's as a surgeon-apothecary from 1815 to 1816. See where this picture was taken. [?]
