Rosslyn House

Rosslyn House was a historic residence in what is now the Belsize Park area of London.

Dating back to the sixteenth century and then known as Grove House, it was acquired in 1794 by the Scottish judge Alexander Wedderburn, 1st Earl of Rosslyn, the Lord Chancellor.

[1] After his death, the property was named after the Earl by subsequent occupant Robert Milligan himself known for his role in the construction of the West India Docks.

The Rosslyn House estate also began to be sold off in parcels for new streets.

The street names of the redeveloped area commemorate Rosslyn and other Lord Chancellors of the late Georgian era, Eldon, Lyndhurst and Thurlow.
