Summary[edit]
| Description | On the corner of Heath Street and Hollybush Steps, Hampstead. Initially posted in "Guess Where UK". The house is named after the 'Kit Cat Club', a group of influential 18th century literary and political figures who met in the nearby Upper Flask public house. This group leaned towards the Whigs (precursors of the Liberals), was founded by publisher Jacob Tonson and included William Congreve, Joseph Addison, John Vanbrugh, Robert Walpole and sundry dukes and other gentry. The club used Hampstead in the summer, moving to the Strand and Barnes for the rest of the year. The club's name refers to a Christopher (Kit) Catling who hosted the club in its early days at Shire Lane and served them his mutton pies (kit cats).
