In 1912 the lease was purchased by the Lancastrian industrialist and philanthropist Sir William Lever, Viscount Leverhulme, who renamed it in honour of his native county of Lancashire and presented it to the nation the following year. It houses the government's wine cellars and was home to the London Museum until World War II. Now used for diplomatic receptions and related functions by the Foreign Office.
