Hello C
While looking at the Amsterdam addresses, I thought I'd take a peek at the Nutts too. In that cutting of Maud's wedding, the name "Morcott West" appears. It's the name of their house. I later found the full address ("Morcott West", Sussex Place, Slough), in an article which may be new to you: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1393963.
I cannot find the house today. The road is centred on SL1 1NH. On old maps (do you need links?) there are a few large properties at the eastern end north side. However the road has been remodelled and there is much new housing, perhaps war damage.
Before I found Morcott West, my first search found a village called Morcott near - guess where - Oakham. So AY Nutt probably named the house in Slough after his childhood home.

PS, I suspect the family photo was taken in the grounds of Windsor Castle. Where else would you take your Dutch relatives, if you had access?!
