Inside the Queen's childhood home... and Led Zeppelin rocker Jimmy Page's mansion: New book reveals 'lost' interiors of London's most exclusive properties

With a doll, teddy bear and high chair, it was a room well-appointed for the task of comforting a princess.

Back in July 1927, Princess Elizabeth - the future Queen - was barely a year old when the interior of her parents' London townhouse, 145 Piccadilly, was photographed.

The stunning images, which also reveal the cot that the monarch slept in, are published in a new book.

London: Lost Interiors, written by historian Stephen Brindle and published this month by Atlantic Publishing, takes readers inside many exclusive properties that have since been demolished.

Around half of the homes in the book no longer exist. According to Mr Brindle, they are 'victims of the waves of redevelopment that result from London's continuing prosperity.'

The Queen's home was badly damaged by a bomb during the Second World War and subsequently pulled down.

One still-standing property that features in the book is the Grade I-listed Gothic revival Tower House in Holland Park, Kensington.

It has been owned by Led Zeppelin rocker Jimmy Page since 1972, but pictures show it shortly after construction was finished in 1878. Sir Jimmy has painstakingly maintained the stunning property that was the brainchild of original owner William Burges.

The other now-demolished properties in the book include the original Dorchester House, regarded as 'probably the most splendid private house ever built in London'.
