"I mean, obviously, he's been well-known as one of the most famous Londoners of the 20th century for a long time. And there's huge interest in him. But it actually was an opportunity that arose because we discovered that the house was going to be sold and we thought, at Heritage of London Trust, that we wanted to step in to ensure that we preserved the house for the public and in order to be able to tell this incredibly important story to the public. It's otherwise you know the house would have been sold and there would never have been this opportunity so it's all been quite sort of at speed. We acquired the house in October and we've just been working in the last few months to sort of gather our plans together and we're now going to go through a process over the next 18 months, two years, to develop those proposals and to develop our plans for the house and for, you know, how we'll be engaging the public with it."
