17 Bruton Street was a large, eighteenth-century townhouse located next to Berkeley Square in Mayfair, London. Built in 1742, it was leased by Claude Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne during the 1920s. On 21 April 1926 Lord Strathmore's daughter Elizabeth, Duchess of York gave birth at the house to Princess Elizabeth of York, who would later become the longest-reigning Sovereign of the United Kingdom. The building was demolished in 1937 and replaced by Berkeley Square House.
