Hosted on Portman Square over two hundred years ago by former Home House resident Elizabeth Montagu (2nd October 1718-1800), these salons were an essential part of the London social calendar in the Regency Era, providing a place for eccentrics of all spheres to mingle with fellow eccentrics. The famous Montagu Salons were hosted in her extraordinary peacock-feather-lined bedroom on Portman Square were celebrated across Europe for their freedom from all barriers of class, race, gender sexuality or creed, enabling Royalty, aristocracy and celebrities to mingle with the greatest LGBTQ thinkers, artists, writers, financiers and scientists of the age.
