Leighton House

“A beautiful escape from the buzz of the city. Lord Leighton's collection of beautiful pieces of art are perfectly situated in the calming setting of the house. The Arab Hall transports you to another land, with the tinkling fountain providing a soothing aural backdrop. The studios receive light from the well placed windows that allows one to truly imagine how Leighton & his contemporaries would have worked. A beautiful garden overlooked by a cafe adds to the gem of a building. A must visit if you are nearby, it cannot be recommended enough.”

“Amazing spot in West London that I am shocked I didn’t know about before. Staff were very friendly, and the ticket price at £10 was reasonable. The entire experience took around 45 minutes - 1 hour to see the rooms properly, and the room guide and artefact guides were very informative. The house itself is stunning, especially the Middle Eastern inspired rooms. It was not too busy, and there was plenty of space to take photos and observe the intricate detail which went into this place. 10/10 would reccommend.”

“Its a smallish house that packs a massive punch. Stunning interiors and the tour guides are very knowledgeable both about his life and the history of the building. Whilst his art is not to everyone’s taste you can’t help but admire the incredible attention to detail in all the rooms. There is a large roomy cafe and a more contemporary art space worth a look too.”
