180 Ebury Street
180 Ebury Street in the Belgravia district of London was the home of the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his family from July 1764 to September 1765 during the Mozart family's grand tour of Europe.[1]
The house was built in the early to mid-18th century as part of a terrace. Mozart composed his first symphony here in 1764. The house has been listed Grade I due to its association with Mozart.[2]
The building is now marked with an English Heritage blue plaque placed in 1939 to commemorate Mozart's residence. The plaque was re-erected in 1951 following damage in the Second World War.[3]
