Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Entrance to Myhotel Ixworth Place Chelsea. This former Metropolitan Police Section House and was home to unmarried police officers. The married officers lived Wray House, on the other side of Elystan Street. Wray House was sold off by the police and became Crown Lodge.
The Section House, known as Philip Game House, was named after Air Vice - Marshal Sir Philip Woolcott Game GCB, GCVO, GBE, KCMG, DSO, who was born on 30th March 1876, and died on 4th February 1961. As his title suggests, he was a Royal Air Force commander, but later, the Governor of New South Wales in Australia. Leaving Australia in January 1935, Philip Game returned to Britain, and was appointed as Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in London. At the end of World War 2, he retired. Philip Game was the last senior armed forces officer to be appointed as Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. Subsequent commissioners have all worked their way up through the ranks of the police force. Later, Philip Game House was converted into a modern boutique hotel, designed by James Soane of Project Orange |
