Brunswick House in Wandsworth Road, Vauxhall, overshadowed by the large concrete Nine Elms Cold Store, which extended north to the river. The store was demolished for the St George Wharf residential and office development completed in 2008. Brunswick House was built in 1758 as Belmont House by John Dawson and in 1811 the main portion was bought by the Duke of Brunswick, brother of the Prince Regent's wife Caroline. By 1844 it was known as Brunswick House and for a time run as a pleasure garden. The house was purchased by the South Western Railway Company in 1854-5 and used thereafter as an institute and club for railway workers. It is now a showroom for the Lassco architectural salvage firm and the site of St George Wharf development.
