TQ 2880 SE CITY OF WESTMINSTER PICCADILLY W.1 80/122 (south side) Devonshire House gates to 5.2.70 Green Park and gatepiers (opposite to No 90 G.V. II* Piccadilly) Gates and gate piers. Early C18. Very fine wrought iron ornamental gates and Palladian gate piers of Portland stone. Double carriage gates between standards and side gates, with ornamental overthrow, set between piers tooled with deeply vermiculated rustication and with festooned friezes below cornice cappings, sur- mounted by bronze sphinxes. The gates originate from Lord Heathfield's house at Turnham Green. When the latter was demolished in 1837, they were bought by the Duke of Devonshire for Chiswick House (Burlington Lane entrance), then, in 1897 removed to Devonshire House Piccadilly and to their present site on the demolition of the latter in 1921.
