In this photograph from 1931, Lady Hamilton Grant, also known as the actress Margaret Bannerman, is seen taking a tranquil afternoon tea break on the roof garden of Berkeley Court. Nestled near Baker Street Station, these luxurious flats offered a serene retreat from the bustling world of steel, bricks, and mortar that surrounded them. The image graced the front cover of The Bystander, a prestigious British society magazine, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of both the actress and the exclusive residential complex. Lady Hamilton Grant, dressed in an elegant floral dress and hat, cradles a delicate teacup in her hands, her eyes closed in contentment as she savors the moment. The roof garden, adorned with lush greenery and colorful flowers, provides a striking contrast to the urban landscape below. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the sense of calm and relaxation. The roof garden of Berkeley Court was a popular destination for its residents, offering a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. The flats themselves were known for their luxurious amenities and prime location, making them a desirable address for the wealthy and influential. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and evocative setting, captures a moment of quiet reflection and indulgence in the midst of the bustling city. The Bystander magazine, with its focus on society and fashion, was the perfect platform to showcase this image of Lady Hamilton Grant and the allure of Berkeley Court. The photograph remains a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of luxury and elegance that once defined London's elite.
