#182 - The Quiet American (The Strand, London, Britain)

#182 - The Quiet American (The Strand, London, Britain)

In the summer of 1958, the occupant of Room 622 in the Strand Palace Hotel was Bernard Smith; a kind and decent man who was quiet and respectable. Running a successful furniture business in New York, he doted on his two sisters, his niece and he would do anything for them, and likewise for him.


With his health declining, having discussed his retirement with his sisters, Bernard had sold up, left America and moved to the UK to be nearer his family – it is what families do, they support one another.

At 12:15pm on Tuesday 3rd June 1958, Lila Gilman (Bernard’s sister) was in Room 622 helping him with a simple task. Last seen entering his room, moments later, he would brutally beat his sister to death.

  • Date: Tuesday 3rd June 1958 at roughly 12:15pm
  • Location: Room 622, The Strand Palace Hotel, The Strand, London, UK, WC2
  • Victims: 1 (Lila Gilman, nee Bernstein)
