Sir Kenneth Clark, the art historian and broadcaster best known for the landmark 1969 BBC TV series Civilisation, has today been commemorated with an English Heritage London blue plaque. The plaque marks 30 Portland Place in Marylebone, Clark’s home during the 1930s when he became Director of the National Gallery and was knighted. The Grade II-listed property became a hub for artists and fashionable society during this time, with Sir Kenneth and his wife Jane hosting glittering parties attended by guests including Winston Churchill and Vanessa Bell.
