JOHN STEED: 5 Westminster Mews (2) |
This is certainly a substantial improvement over his previous flat, I should think.
From the moment one enters the foyer (at left), one can detect that this is a worldly man of some
means and possessed of good taste. He lived here from early 1963 to late 1964/early 1965. |
The spacious living area features a curious curved ceiling detail over the windows
that lends it the faint air of a railway coach. According to Steed, one can see "clear across
the river" from his flat. Just off the right edge is a small pass-through opening to the kitchen. And to the left is the fireplace, shown below. The portrait
above the mantle is of Steed's great grandfather, R.J.K. de V. Steed. |
