Bartok's hosts the Wilsons's home in Sydney Place, by Rita Ensing 1972
During his visits to England Hungarian composer Bela Bartok regularly stayed with Freda and Duncan Wilson at their home at 7 Sydney Place. He even performed a private concert here in March 1922 and over the years taught Duncan to play the piano. This picture was taken in 1972 and number 7 can be seen on the extreme right hand side. South Kensington and the 'towers' of the Natural History Museum are visible in the distance.
