Audrey Hepburn’s time living in Mayfair to be honoured in a new London Blue Plaque
The late Hollywood star’s life in the capital is set to be memorialised this week.
London Blue Plaque is set to unveil a new sign dedicated to the legendary actress Audrey Hepburn.
Honouring her time living in London during her early career, a new iconic cobalt plaque will be put up in the city on October 7.
While she transitioned from ballet to acting, Hepburn resided in Mayfair in an apartment on South Audley Street.
The same London street has had many notable occupants over the years from former prime ministers and even royalty.
It has also featured on-screen in Alfred Hitchcock’s Stage Fright and in Love Actually as the Wedding spot Juliet (Kiera Knightley) and Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) tie the knot.
While there isn’t set to be a grand unveiling event at the site of the new plaque, the nearby Curzon Cinema will host an exclusive screening of Roman Holiday on the day.
Released in 1953 the film marked Hepburn's very first major role which ended up seeing her win an Academy Award for best actress.
Fans wanting to catch the commemorative screening of the classic flick in the city can book a ticket on the Curzon Cinema website.
