Wandering around London<\/a>, it\u2019s hard to miss the Blue Plaques that dot the city\u2019s walls and buildings. Recognising iconic figures from history, these celebrate \u201cthe link between significant figures of the past and the buildings in which they lived and worked.\u201d And a brand new one is set to be unveiled next week, honouring acting legend Audrey Hepburn.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new London Blue Plaque will go up next week, on Tuesday, October 7<\/a><\/strong>, on Mayfair\u2019s South Audley Street. The plaque will mark where Hepburn lived in the early days of her acting career. At the time, Hepburn lived in a flat at 65 South Audley Street<\/strong>, during which time she transitioned from her aspirations of becoming a ballerina to pursuing acting.<\/p>\n

It was during her time in London that Audrey Hepburn took to the West End stage<\/a>, from humble beginnings as a chaoir girl on the West End in High Button Shoes at the London Hippodrome<\/strong>. It wasn\u2019t long until she was starring in films and even making her Broadway debut.<\/p>\n

Now, if you\u2019re expecting a grand event for the unveiling, you\u2019re out of luck. Since the blue plaque is going up in Mayfair<\/a> \u2013 a very busy part of the city \u2013 they\u2019ve decided against taking over the street with a party<\/strong>. But we can probably fairly accurately predict that the street is about to get a whole lot busier than usual, as fans of the silver screen star flock to view the new blue plaque.<\/p>\n

Hepburn\u2019s Blue Plaque joins an existing one honouring Constance Spry<\/strong>, an author, educator, and florist, whose famed flower shop was situated at Number 64 South Audley Street in the heart of Mayfair for over 25 years.<\/p>\n

But Audrey Hepburn isn\u2019t the only new Blue Plaque going up this year. This year, the English Heritage\u2019s London Blue Plaques<\/strong> scheme is also recognising several other iconic cultural figures. Pending approval from the property owners, Blue Plaques will also honour the following people this year:<\/p>\n
