A property that used to house one of London’s best known prostitutes - and which carries a blue plaque celebrating her time there - is now one of the capital’s most exclusive homes.
And the respected estate agent selling the property is using the hooker angle as the peg to win attention.
Estate agent Peter Wetherell, well known as Mayfair’s senior agent, says: “Catherine Walters was the last great Victorian courtesan whose wealthy lovers included Royalty and aristocrats. The grand Blue Plaque townhouse at 15 South Street is where she lived for almost five decades, initially as a tenant, and from 1872 as the wealthy owner. If the walls of this Mayfair house could speak what tales of romance, high society scandal and wild parties it would tell.”

Great listing- but what a bland interior for a property with such a colourful past!
