Cardinal's Wharf, No. 49 Bankside, a three-storey house that has a plaque claiming it to be a former home to Sir Christopher Wren, London, UK.


Inscription on plaque at No 49: "‘Here lived Sir Christopher Wren during the building of St Paul’s Cathedral. Here also, in 1502, Catherine Infanta of Castile and Aragon, afterwards first queen of Henry VIII, took shelter on her first landing in London.’" This plaque may be inaccurate and belonged on the original house, now destroyed, Wren lived in. This building was built in 1710, the same year St Pauls was completed and so the plaque from the destroyed building may have been put on this instead.
