Thanks to the Great Fire, Tudor's not highly likely, at least not in London proper. Georgian, even Queen Anne, are around in "the City" (Peter O'Toole owned a rather large George I era house right by the Thames with a walled garden) and, of course, the grand squares and crescents are mostly late Georgian or Regency.

I think several others also mentioned the fire of 1666, so for something more anonymous, a Georgian house is probably a better choice than Elizabethan. I did think of the Royal Crescent in Bath, being a Jane Austen fan. :)

Thank you so much for your input! :)

You've got some wonderful suggestions here, so I'm looking forward to seeing where you finish up setting the story.

And I love that you want to get a detail like this right. Seeing someone take such obvious care over details is something that delights me about fandom. Yay for you!

Didn't want to embarrass myself on things that could be fact-checked, especially given my pool of UK friends on LJ. ;) Thank you so much!
