Leopold Salomons

Leopold Salomons (14 May 1841 – 23 September 1915) was a city financier and company director active in the City of London in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Salomons was born into a British Jewish family, but it has been suggested that he later converted to Christianity. Today he is primarily remembered for his purchase of Box Hill in 1914 to protect it from development.
