**★★★★★ Tim Hill — a month ago
Hidden gem with beautiful interior and paintings as well as history of the Duke of Wellington. Knowledgable and enthusiastic staff too. A rare old London house with all the original Victorian era decor. Well worth the entrance fee
**★★★★★ Irena Irina — 2 months ago
This museum houses the Duke of Wellington's magnificent collection, including a large collection of paintings, other works of art, and memorabilia associated with the family. It may be the only surviving example of an English aristocratic townhouse from that period. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
**★★★★★ Ann Mac — 3 months ago
Former home of the Duke of Wellington. Downstairs is a display about the Duke's life including interesting artefacts such as the Duke's death mask and a handwritten letter to his wife. On the main and upper floor, you can listen to an audio description or find out more from display books for each room. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Toilets are located on the ground floor. Small selection of items to buy in the reception area. Photography is allowed - without a flash.
**★★★★★ Dave Ockenden — 4 months ago
Well worth a visit if you’re a member of English 🏴 Heritage, ground floor tells you the story of Duke of Wellington and some interesting artefacts . The upper floors are stunning with massive chandeliers in every room, the dining area has a huge table that goes from one end of the room to the other along with the silver centre table piece
**★★★☆☆ I L — 2 months ago
Some great artists on view, Thomas Lawrence, Reynolds, etc, and a few nice Golden Age dutch paintings (Photos attached). However the display and information about the paintings is old fashioned and not user friendly. (Except for the special exhibition). Helpful and friendly staff, but he house itself is unexeptional.
