So, the dining room's not completely dead. This extraordinary dining room is part of a Whitehall Court apartment. The Court - described as "a palace of flats" - is a former home to George Bernard Shaw, William Gladstone, Lord Kitchener and even MI6 during the First World War. It's attached to the National Liberal Club, right in the heart of Whitehall. Just two bedrooms, two receptions, two bathrooms, but arguably one of the most remarkable addresses in London, it's with Chesterton's, guide price £3.5m. Particulars here.
