Capo di Monte (pictured) on Windmill Hill dates back to 1762 and was home to actress Sarah Siddons, art historian Kenneth Clark, and journalist Marghanita Laski. Lady Macbeth and her portrayal in Shakespeare's tragedies earned her the title of "the Queen of Drury Lane" in the late 18th century. She lived at the house from 1804 to 1805, during which she inserted a 'S' above its main entrance.
