Castelnau is one of London’s most desirable addresses. The name is taken from the French town of Castelnau-Valence. In 1691, the 10th Baron of Castelnau fled France with his son Charles Boileau who purchased land in the area and re-named the address to Castelnau. The house forms part of several pairs of houses, constructed in the mid-1800’s.
