‘Of All Romances in Miniature… Perhaps this is the Best Shape in which Romance Can Appear.’ ~ Lord Byron
At Home With Lord Byron
As an artist AND a passionate devotee of Regency History who loves to create a scene and not only of the hysterical kind – it is perhaps only to be expected that I would create a Regency inspired miniature.
Inspired by the life of the poet – the ‘Ghost of Piccadilly’ is the story of a 12th scale historical house which has enjoyed world wide recognition – however, the story is FAR from over!
Follow me as I step inside Number 13 and return to the year 1815…
Let me take you into the fabulous world of Lord Byron and his household as he lived at 13 Piccadilly Terrace and watch as I recreate his lifestyle in miniature as faithfully as possible and along the way – you’ll learn something about the dazzling Regency era too!
If you love the Regency era and are captivated by a time synonymous with elegant romance and are fascinated by historical characters and would love to peep behind closed doors and hear tales of scandal and intrigue or you want to step into another era of ravenous appetites and hardship – this is THE world for YOU!
To Piccadilly Terrace…
The House Calls
“As everything in my ‘real’ world becomes crazier with each passing day, I really wish that I could shrink and move to Piccadilly Terrace as a perpetual house guest.
AND preferably with chocolate to enjoy, books to read, NO bills to pay OR any dishes to clean and NO laundry to attend to.”

Life Below Stairs…
Although, I profess that cooking is definitely NOT my forte and would rather spend money on chocolate and books than on a cooking gadget – I had to create an authentic kitchen which now nestles in the basement of Piccadilly Terrace.
Luckily for me, Lord Byron also had no interest in the design or practicalities of any kitchen and his attitude towards food was famously ambivalent…
Anyone for a little lobster salad with a glass of champagne?
