The Banks children—Jane, Michael, and the twins, John and Barbara—live at 17 Cherry-Tree Lane in London with their parents. When their nanny leaves, her replacement arrives one evening borne on the east wind. Mary Poppins is vain and often irritable, but within her stern exterior lurk all kinds of delightful wonder.
Mary Poppins is the main character of the books, a magical nanny who sweeps into the Banks home of Cherry Tree Lane and takes charge of the Banks children. She never openly acknowledges her strange and magical powers, and feigns insult when one of the children refers to her previous adventures.
Cherry Tree Lane, home to the Banks family of Mary Poppins (1964), awaits a visit from a “practically perfect” nanny. Walt Disney's classic film, starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, was shot entirely indoors at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California, with this London set constructed on Stage 4.

Travers, who loathed the Disney film, objected to the near-perfect world the Banks family inhabit. This included the grand looking house and the family's financially comfortable lifestyle.

Where is Mary Poppins house in London?
For more neighborhood inspiration, head to 50 Smith Street in Chelsea. There's an English Heritage Blue Plaque marking the real-life house of Mary Poppins author, P.L. Travers. It's said that Travers' Chelsea home influenced the Banks' Cherry Tree Lane address.
This is one property for which there is no 'real' address – 17 Cherry Tree Lane doesn't exist except in the pages of PL Travers' books about Mary Poppins (and the many subsequent adaptions including the famous 1964 musical film starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke).
Records show the popular Cherry Tree Hotel on the corner of Balmain and Stephenson Street in Cremorne was purchased by the Kurtulus family for $7.65 million. It sold with a short-term lease in place to current operators, veteran Richmond publicans Chris and Penny Hodges.
The Children of Cherry Tree Farm has Rory, Benjy, Sheila, and Penny moving to the countryside for their health, while their parents go off to America. It's a win-win situation for everyone. While at the Cherry Tree Farm, the children begin enjoying their stay with Uncle Tim and Aunt Bess.
In the Mary Poppins books and films, the Banks family home is at number 17 Cherry Tree Lane. There is no Cherry Tree Lane in central London, but there are plenty of streets of Georgian houses which look like the Banks' – particularly in the affluent areas of Chelsea and Kensington.
As for disliking children, in 1939 she adopted a baby boy named Camillus (one of twin boys from Ireland) who she raised as her own son. In a 1982 interview with the Paris Review, Travers also expressed gratitude to children for including her books “in their treasure trove.” So she must have liked children a little.
Travers lived at 50 Smith Street from about 1945–46 until December 1962 – a period of around 17 years. She raised her adopted son, John Camillus Hone, at number 50 and split her time between London and New York.
Bert is a jack-of-all-trades who speaks with a Cockney accent. He never stays with one trade too long and adapts to current conditions. He is a long time friend of Mary Poppins, though their relationship is noted to be strictly platonic (but there are hints to suggest a more romantic interest between them).
Though the state of Mary and Bert's relationship has always been a little fuzzy, a popular theory has recently resurfaced ahead of Mary Poppins Returns explaining their interesting bond: Mary Poppins (played by Julie Andrews in the original and Emily Blunt in the sequel) was actually Bert's nanny when he was a kid.
Accuracy: Mostly true. Saving Mr. Banks does paint the father, Travers Goff, a little more positively than he actually was, but the basics — i.e. that Goff was an alcoholic, failed bank manager with an immensely romantic imagination — are all correct. Even the pear flashback toward the end has some basis in reality.
One person commented: “Looks fabulous and done to a very high standard as usual.” Tom Taylor is the owner of The Cherry Tree at Blackrod and he said a lot of thought has gone into the outdoor area- and it's an investment that will serve the company well for years to come.
Standard cherry trees reach 18- to 25-feet tall and wide at maturity, often even larger if left unpruned. In full production, these trees will yield an abundance of cherries, so you will still have a bounty of scrumptious summer fruit, even if birds happen to share in the harvest.
The Richmond pub still known as “Barassi's”, despite the ex-footballer and Victorian of the Year Ron Barassi selling it in 2000, goes to auction later this month. The sportsman and a then-business partner Adrian Galagher refurbished the Mountain View Hotel in the 1980s as a deli and lounge bar.
The name of the hero of the story 'The Cherry Tree' is Rakesh, who is a child. In this beautiful story by Ruskin Bond, the hero or protagonist, Rakesh, listens to his grandfather's advice and sows a cherry seed. As time goes by, the seed grows into a plant and then into a tree.
Grandfather replied that the tree was special because they planted it themselves. At the end, Rakesh wondered what it felt like a God. He was surprised by how a small seed he planted had grown into a beautiful tree that provided fruit, shade , shelter to everyone.
