Every Stop Has a Story

Grosvenor Gallery

Lord Henry tells Basil to send his portrait of Dorian to this real gallery, whose opening show in 1877 was the subject of Oscar Wilde's first published review.

Lord Fermor's Chambers

Lord Henry calls on his uncle in these exclusive bachelor chambers, the same address Wilde later gave Jack Worthing in The Importance of Being Earnest.

Aunt Agatha's home

Lord Henry heads towards this square for lunch at his Aunt Agatha's, past plane trees planted in 1789 that are among the oldest in London.

Dorian's House

Dorian lives somewhere on this grand square, where he meets Basil in the fog on the night he murders him.

Lord Henry's House

Lord Henry invites Dorian to call on him in Curzon Street at five o'clock, on a real street where Benjamin Disraeli died in 1881.

Alan Campbell's House

Dorian blackmails the chemist Alan Campbell into destroying Basil's body, and the fictional address Wilde gave him is on a real street once home to the Dublin-born playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
