Some famous residents
Ruston Mews has had many famous residents over the years. More work will go into this section as information becomes available. The one famous resident that we have information on was the late comedian Peter Cook who we believe lived at No 3 in the early 1970's. Below is a photo of Peter with his second wife to be Judy posing at the first floor level of the new houses during their construction in 1970.
