Hollywood star Audrey Hepburn, whose early career was formed in London, is to be honoured with a prestigious Blue Plaque

A blue plaque to honour the English-American actor Audrey Hepburn will be unveiled in London next week by English Heritage. The plaque on South Audley Street in Mayfair will commemorate her early years in the capital, which saw her transition from ballet to acting.

‘From literature and art to dance and music, these figures helped shape the London we know today. Their contributions not only had a profound impact on their fields but also continue to inspire generations,’ English Heritage's curatorial director Matt Thompson said when the list of those to receive plaques was first announced. There will be no official unveiling ceremony due to the busy nature of the Mayfair street, but it is highly likely that many fans of the late Hollywood actress will visit.
