Ever wonder about the man behind utilitarianism? Here at the Jeremy Bentham Plaque, we uncover a piece of his life. The Jeremy Bentham Plaque marks the site of his former home. It’s located on the gateway of the Home Office building at 50 Queen Anne’s Gate. Bentham, a philosopher and reformer, lived here for forty years, from 1792 to 1832. The Jeremy Bentham Plaque was unveiled in 2004 by Westminster’s Lord Mayor and UCL’s President. Bentham’s connection to this spot began much earlier. His father, Jeremiah, rented a house here in 1763. Jeremy was just fifteen and studying at Oxford. He wrote to his father, expressing excitement about the move from Crutched Friars. The family found the location so “pleasant and convenient” that Jeremiah bought the house in 1764. Years later, it became Jeremy’s home for four decades. The Jeremy Bentham Plaque serves as a reminder of this intellectual giant’s long residency. It stands as a tribute to his influence on legal and social thought.
