93 Park Lane is a Grade I listed house in Park Lane, Mayfair, London W1.

It was Grade I listed in 1958.[1]

Together with no 94, it was rebuilt on a speculative basis in 1823–25 by Samuel Baxter, and replaced the then King's Head pub at the corner and the previous No. 24 Upper Grosvenor Street.[1][2]

The new house was initially called No. 1 Grosvenor Gate, and was bought by the politician Wyndham Lewis for £14,000 in February 1827.[2]

Lewis had married Mary Anne, daughter of John Evans, in 1816.[2] They had no children, and he died in 1838, and left his wife a life interest in the house.[2] In 1839, she married the future Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, and they lived there until her death in 1872.[2]

Later residents include Thomas Agar-Robartes, 6th Viscount Clifden from 1889 to 1896, and Arthur Hornby Lewis, iron-master, from 1900 to 1926.[2] The Grosvenor Estate purchased the lease in 1931, and it has been offices since 1936.[2]
