Description: Burdett House was constructed in 1968, replacing a building of 1906 which was destroyed in WW2. That building replaced two earlier Georgian buildings, 15 & 16, Buckingham Street. No. 15 was home to William Burges, 1856-1875, Charles Dickens, circa 1834, and William Smith (geologist), 1804-1819. It has also, erroneously been described as home to Peter the Great during the London stage of his Grand Embassy in 1698. The block stands to the right of the York Water Gate, Victoria Embankment
