Lionel Logue’s Clinic Plaque

King George VI suffered from a speech stammer (film - the King’s Speech) and worked hard to overcome it with the help of an Australian Speech Therapist based in London, Mr Lionel Logue.  In 1944 the King appointed Logue a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order.  Logue died in London just 12 months after the King.

Lionel Logue practiced at 146 Harley Street from 1926 until 1952.  The plaque was a tribute to Logue’s hard work and dedication - it was probably at this address where Lionel treated King George VI.  (Plaque unveiled 19th May 2011.)  Great Portland Street tube station and Regent’s Park tube station are both a short walk to Harley Street.
