Traveler reviews
Alison Taffs
★★★★★5 months agoAn experience I’d been looking forward to- we took the silent candlelight tour on a Saturday evening. Very much enjoyed the atmosphere and sumptuous rooms. The candles, the aromas, the gentle sounds and the silence. A treat for the eyes. The chap on the door was knowledgeable and fun. Excellent and very different from a traditional museum. Not allowed to take photos inside so I can’t offer anything.
Nuala O'Connor
★★★★★2 years agoStunning, unique, atmospheric - there aren't enough superlatives. A true oasis of time travel in London. Beautiful antique furnishings & décor; candlelight & homeliness, including fire-warmth and smells. A must for lovers of history, interiors, architecture. No touching of objects or photos inside. We took the silent self guided tour, which I loved.
