Berners Street hoax, caricatureTheodore Hook, perpetrator of the hoax, circa 1810
The Berners Street hoax was perpetrated by Theodore Hook in Westminster, London, England, in 1810.[1][2] Hook had made a bet with his friend Samuel Beazley that he could transform any house in London into the most talked-about address in a week, which he achieved by sending out thousands of letters in the name of Mrs Tottenham, who lived at 54 Berners Street, requesting deliveries, visitors and assistance.[3]
