Venue Testimonials
Just love this place. It is gorgeous, has a great collection and the restaurant in the covered courtyard looks fabulous. The staff are super and so enthusiastic. A jewel in London. Easy to get to and very near Oxford Street and the more bijou shopping areas around Marylebone High Street.
Simone L
Absolutely wonderful museum which is like walking through someone's private house. Well, actually, that's exactly what it is - or rather, was! Every sumptuous room is a winner, packed to the rafters with French porcelain and paintings by the likes of Velazquez, Titian and Rembrandt, beautifully displayed against a rich red, deep blue blend emerald green brocade wallpaper.
Mich
This is a hidden gem. An exquisite collection of antique art and medieval to renaissance era armoury. There's a beautiful, quiet café in the middle courtyard that's perfect for afternoon tea. An ideal place to spend the afternoon away from the crowd.
