Park Place

During World War 2, Agatha Christie rented out Greenway to be used as a nursery for children evacuated from St Pancras Hospital. She therefore decided to move to London to join her husband Max who was working for Turkish Relief. Although Christie had properties in London, they had all been rented out. After a week at a rented flat in Half Moon Street, they moved to a service apartment in Park Place. They later moved to 58 Sheffield Terrace, when their tenants there asked to give up their lease.

Park Place is just off St James Street, near the Ritz. There is no information about which block of apartments was the one Agatha Christie rented except that it is almost directly opposite their club Boodles. This is on St. James Street, which suggests that Christie's building was at the corner of St James Street and Park Place.

Also just around the corner is the restaurant La Caprice which Agatha Christie frequented, although this only opened in 1947.
