  • Baden-Powell House, colloquially known as B-P House, is a Scouting hostel and conference centre in South Kensington, London, which was built as a tribute to Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting. The house, owned by The Scout Association, hosts a collection of Baden-Powell memorabilia, including the original Baden-Powell painting by David Jagger, Baden-Powell's ', and a granite statue by Don Potter. The building committee, chaired by Sir Harold Gillett, Lord Mayor of London, purchased the site in 1956, and assigned Ralph Tubbs to design the house in the modern architectural style. The Foundation Stone was laid in 1959 by World Chief Guide Olave, Lady Baden-Powell, and it was opened in 1961 by Queen Elizabeth II. The largest part of the £400,000 cost was provided by the Scout Movement itself. Over the years, the house has been refurbished several times, so that it now provides modern and affordable lodging for Scouts, Guides, and their families, staying in London.
  • Das Baden-Powell House, auch bekannt als BP House, ist eine Pfadfinderherberge und ein Konferenzzentrum in South Kensington, das in Erinnerung an Robert Baden-Powell, den Gründer der Pfadfinderbewegung, errichtet wurde. Das Haus beinhaltet eine Sammlung von Erinnerungsstücke an Baden-Powell, unter anderem auch das Baden-Powell-Porträt von David Jagger und eine Granitstatue von Don Potter. Der Bauausschuss der Scout Association unter dem Vorsitz von Sir Harold Gillett, damals Lord Mayor of London, kaufte das Grundstück 1956 und beauftragte Ralph Tubbs mit dem Entwurf des Gebäudes im Stil der klassischen Moderne. Der Grundstein wurde 1959 durch Olave Baden-Powell gelegt; das Haus wurde 1961 von Königin Elizabeth II. eingeweiht. Der größte Teil der Baukosten in Höhe von 400.000 £ wurde von der Pfadfinderbewegung zur Verfügung gestellt. Über die Jahre ist das Haus mehrmals renoviert geworden, damit es den Ansprüchen der in London übernachtenden Pfadfindern entspricht.
