The second floor flat was a residential property which was let to a number of tenants during the time that the Royal Asiatic Society was at 56 Queen Anne Street.

The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland was founded by the eminent Sanskrit scholar Sir Henry Thomas Colebrooke on the 15th March 1823. It received its Royal Charter from King George IV on the 11th August 1824 'for the investigation of subjects connected with and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to Asia'. It continues as a forum for those who are interested in the languages, cultures and history of Asia to meet and exchange ideas. The Society moved to the premises at the beginning of 1988 and remained there until 2005, when the premises were sold.
