We visited on a very rare trip down to London in 2018. What a house! So inspiring... I'd love to go again... on one of their special Christmas evenings x

I think I might find that spooky. I was fascinated by the house and its decor.

Ooooh, I think it would be magical - all flickering fires, Christmas decorations and food piled on the table.

Kate, I love this. I walk by this house regularly and it looks good in all weathers - in a way, it looks all the better on a grey and rainy winter's day as the lantern outside makes it look so welcoming. Thanks for this interesting read! x

I found it an absolutely fascinating visit & would recommend if you enjoy old buildings and a degree of theatricality as opposed to historical accuracy!

I went at Christmas a couple of years ago and it was charming and interesting, plus there was a bit of a weird haunted house vibe, but overall it definitely felt like a set
