Leighton House Museum in London | Kensington’s hidden treasure 

Thanks for your comment. I agree, the Borough of Kensington & Chelsea have done a great job restoring and maintaining the house.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks.

It would have been a great experience to have seen it back then.

@@EnglandRover Yes it was way before the renovation so it was a bit musty and not laid out like it is today. It was still a lovely evening with piano and poetry, very Bloomsbury ! My partner at the time was being painted by Isobel Strachey, an old eccentric and we lived in Glebe Place next door to Bernard Neville. Do you know anything about that amazing house in Glebe Place build with reclamed materials ? When I visited Glebe Place to see my old home I saw this house and for the life of couldn't remember it but then read that despite it's appearance it is relatively recent. Would love to know more about it.

It's an amazing interior, isn't it. Thank you.

I'd be happy living anywhere in Kensington but living in this house would be amazing.

Oh, I'll need to re-watch my video. What have I said about it? :) Regardless of how I've described it, I think most people would want to visit Leighton House after seeing a video or photos of its interior.

@@EnglandRover Oh I'm only joking don't worry! It's just when people describe a museum etc as "secret" or "hidden" I always wonder about the people whose job it is to make sure it isn't secret or hidden. But I am only kidding 😁

I called it a hidden secret because I used to walk past here every day when I lived in London and never knew what was inside.

It's about a three-minute walk from the Design Museum, on Holland Park Road, just one a block back from High Street Kensington.

@@EnglandRover thank you

You are so welcome!
