In April 1880 Lord and Lady Randolph moved their growing family into  29 St James’s Place in London. It now became home to a 5 year old Winston Churchill.
In his book My Early Life, Winston Churchill wrote about his time in this house as he faced the miserable prospect of being sent away to school for the first time. “After all, I was only seven, and I had been so happy in my nursery with all my toys. I had such wonderful toys: a real steam engine, a magic lantern, and a collection of soldiers already nearly a thousand strong.”
