The History
One Dorset Square is a historic Grade II-listed building that has played various roles over the years. Previously used as a language school, the building holds significant historical importance due to its former use by Winston Churchill’s Special Operations Executive during World War II, earning the nickname “Spy Corner” during the period between 1941-1944. A plaque was unveiled in 1957 by the late Queen Mother to commemorate the bravery of the agents who embarked on dangerous missions in France from this location. The property also stands on the site of the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground (Dorset Fields), which was redeveloped in the 1810s, adding to its rich historical narrative.
