Official information

Leinster Gardens is a street in Bayswater, London, known for its tall, ornate mid-Victorian terraced houses, many of which are listed buildings. Notably, it features two false houses that serve as façades, concealing a section of the Metropolitan Railway. This unique architectural feature creates the illusion of an unbroken row of houses.

From the Wikipedia article

Francis Brett Hart (August 25, 1836 – May 5, 1902), known as Bret Harte ( HART), was an American short story writer and poet best remembered for short fiction featuring miners, gamblers, and other romantic figures of the California Gold Rush. In a career spanning more than four decades, he also wrote poetry, plays, lectures, book reviews, editorials, and magazine sketches. Harte moved from California to the eastern U.S. and later to Europe. He incorporated new subjects and characters into his stories, but his Gold Rush tales have been those most often reprinted, adapted, and admired.
