Summary

edit
Description
English: Blue plaque erected in 1995 by English Heritage at 6 Barton Street, Westminster, London SW1P 3NG, City of Westminster.

This is a replacement for a plaque erected in 1994 worded "LORD JOHN REITH 1889-1971 First Director-General of the BBC lived here 1924-1930". Reith's second forename (Charles) had been omitted from the original inscription and it was decided to have a new plaque made with a simplified wording which was erected in 1995.

Owing to a concern about the thinness of the main brick facade of the house, the plaque is affixed to the Cowley Street elevation of the structure.
