Located on Barnesbury Road in Islington, which is now part of Greater London, this building derived its name from the nearby conduit head. The image showcases the architectural beauty of the house, highlighting its significance in British history. White Conduit Fields, where cricket was played during the 18th century, holds a special place in sporting heritage.
