Seely & Paget was an architectural partnership formed in London, England in 1922 by John Seley (1889-1963) and Paul Edward Paget (1901-1985). It is assumed that the practice closed following the death of Seely.
Notable among the firm's commissions was the conversion of Eltham Palace, a 14th century palace in Greenwich, London into an Art Deco mansion for Stephen Courtauld and Virginia Courtauld in 1936. They also designed interiors for celebrities including the writer J.B. Priestley and the actress Gladys Cooper. Following World War Two, they designed St Andrew and St George in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, and were responsible for restoring a number of churches damaged by wartime bombing.
