On Friday the 7th of February 1936, 32-year-old Carmen Swann booked a twin room for one night in Clarendon Court at 33 Maida Vale, West London. Staying in Room 4 of Flat 20 on the third floor, she and her 8-year-old daughter unpacked their cases, popped on their nightdresses, ordered a pot of tea and got into bed beside the reassuring warmth of the fire. Their stay marked the end of a very long journey, and it was here that their lives would cease.

  • Location: Room 4, Flat 20, Clarendon Court, 33 Maida Vale, West London, W9.
