"East India House, Leadenhall Street, London, c.1820" is a historical illustration by the British artist Thomas Hosmer Shepherd (1793–1864), who was renowned for his detailed architectural watercolors and prints. The work depicts the East India House, which was the London headquarters of the British East India Company, and stood on Leadenhall Street in the City of London. The company was established in 1600 as a monopolistic trading body so that England could participate in the East Indian spice trade. It later evolved to rule large areas of India with its private armies, exercising military power and assuming administrative functions.

Shepherd's illustration captures the grandeur and significance of the East India House at the height of the British Empire. Created around 1820, the image provides a valuable visual record of the architecture and urban environment of London during this period. The East India House was designed by the architect Richard Jupp in the neoclassical style and was a symbol of Britain's global commercial interests.

Thomas Hosmer Shepherd was particularly adept at portraying urban scenes with accuracy and an eye for the character of the buildings. His works serve as important historical records of London's architectural heritage, many parts of which have been lost or transformed over time. "East India House, Leadenhall Street, London, c.1820" is a fine example of Shepherd's work, reflecting both the artistic skill of the painter and the significance of the subject matter in the context of British economic and imperial history.

The East India House was demolished in 1861, making Shepherd's work an even more significant document of the architectural past of London. The illustration is of interest not only to art historians and enthusiasts of Shepherd's work but also to those studying the history of the British Empire, London's urban development, and the architectural history of the period.
