Admiral House
Firstly, no admirals have ever lived here. Its name is actually due to a mix-up involving a rather annoying neighbor called Admiral Barton. Barton had two cannons winched up to his rooftop upon retirement from the navy. He would fire one of his cannons at dawn on ceremonial occasions and was no doubt the inspiration for Admiral Boom in *Mary Poppins*. Admiral’s House has a ship's quarterdeck on its roof, hence the mix-up. The building was, however, home to the renowned architect Sir Gilbert Scott, who worked on over 800 buildings throughout his career.
