The Walsingham House or Walsingham House Hotel was located at 150-4 Piccadilly[1] on the site of what is now The Ritz Hotel, London[2] and was adjacent to the Bath Hotel.[3] The Ritz's financial backers began negotiations in 1901 and purchased the Walsingham simultaneously with the Bath Hotel.[4] Though the Walsingham was of fairly new construction, they determined it was too "inelegant" and demolished the building.[5] One of the considerations that made the transaction appealing to the city was that they would be able to widen Piccadilly when the Walsingham and Bath Hotels were demolished.[6]
