Eliot joined the publisher Faber & Gwyer in 1925 and worked from the corner house on Russell Square until his death in 1965; from here he published Auden, Pound, Marianne Moore, Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath, and wrote Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats for his godchildren. The blue plaque is on the wall by the door. The building belongs to the University of London now, and Faber has moved round the corner to Great Russell Street.
