Ballet Star Honoured with English Heritage Blue Plaque
Celebrated ballet dancer, Rudolf Nureyev, has been commemorated with an English Heritage blue plaque today (Thursday 21 September) on the building he considered his London home. The new plaque will mark the four-storey house in Kensington where the dance critics Nigel and Maude Gosling kept a self-contained apartment for their Russian friend Nureyev. An escape from the pressures of performing and socialising, the apartment was filled with the ballet dancer’s own antiques, records and books.
