An absolute must see "hidden gem" that I suspect 99% of Londoners are unaware of. Perfectly preserved interior, interesting exhibitions, surprise features that a guide can tell you about.

This beautiful venue is often host to wonderful exhibitions. Stunning architecture and friendly staff. I had the pleasure of visiting a Jazz related exhibition which was truly stunning and engaging. I would definitely recommend this venue the next time I show arises that stimulates your interest.

Beautiful old house, stained glass windows, intricately carved staircase. A little hidden gem in London. Only a few rooms are open to view with a small gift shop upstairs. Free entry and definitely worth a look if you are around temple.

Mind-blowing neo-Gothic Victorian mansion, home of William Waldorf Astor. The austere facade hides a beautiful and opulent interior with wood panelling and intricate carving, reflecting Astor’s passion for history, literature and all arts. Absolutely outstanding. Rarely opens its doors so watch out for exhibitions and go see this gem.

What a wonderful, hidden gem. Only open to the public when an exhibition is on, and only displays art that publicly owned. Would thoroughly recommend the current show, Sussex Modernism, on until April.
