Apsley House

A 15 mins walk from London Victoria Stn, Aspley House is a must for military enthusiasts but also for anyone who loves seeing how major figures lived back in the day..
Duke Of Wellington House formerly known as Number 1 London, Is a delight of artifacts, with priceless paintings which the Duke brought in a lot and many of the items are just stunning.
When I got there I paid and collect a audio tour guide that tells you all about the different rooms you enter also it has a activity button that you can have some fun with. There are toliets and the staff make you feel very welcome and it's right next door to Hyde Park.

Not free, but definitely worth the price! The architecture and art collection in this house is amazing, and they had a great free (with the ticket) additional self guided audio tour alongside it all

Apsley House, also known as the "Number One, London," is a majestic residence located in the heart of London, directly opposite Hyde Park. Built in the 18th century, the residence became famous as the home of Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, the renowned British commander who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815. Today, Apsley House is open to the public as a museum, showcasing the Duke's impressive art collection, including paintings, sculptures, and artworks from around the world. The residence also offers a fascinating insight into the aristocratic life of 19th-century Britain. The ticket is around 16 pounds but if you like history it deserves.

Amazing collection (could even say MIRABILIA 👌) of art in stunning interiors of Admiral Wellington former household.

Great piece of history of one of the most important men in British 🇬🇧 history!

Absolutely amazing great mansion near Hyde park with a vast collection of art and history about the Duke of Wellington

This is the London residence of the first Duke of Wellington and indeed his descendents. Most of the house is open to the public but I was told that the family still have private apartments. The house is in wonderful original or restored condition of the early 19th century and is full of artworks. The museum of gifts presented to the first Duke is remarkable. Decoration and furniture is all of the period. There is an audio guide available but each room also has a short printed guide to its contents. Highly recommended.

It’s Lord Wellington house and it is spectacular. It’s a must visit place, it’s lush with paintings and lots of new information about the waterloo war that wouldn’t be found on google, you’ll enjoy it! They have student’s discount too

Amazing museum full of history and with a great audio guide

Strange we never been in this house, what a magnificent place! Lots of amazing art to look at, and history about Lord Wellington and his famous battle! Amazingly the 9th Lord still lives upstairs, how great! Very helpful staff telling you many stories if you desire. Definitely place to visit!

English Heritage.
I've wanted to go and visit for such a long time and I wasn't disappointed. Friendly staff, lovely museum. No photos to be taken inside.

Offered the complimentary headphone guided tour which I strongly advise you to use. A talk about the Waterloo painting was also offered by one of the English heritage guides which was very informative. A grand house full of interesting sculptures & paintings.

Impressive historic house which was once the Duke of Wellington's London base. The interior is just as impressive as the exterior, housing superb collections of art, military artefacts and some truly stunning tableware. Please note that photography isn't permitted inside the house.
The audio guide helps bring history to life, providing an informative tour around the house and detailing the highlights to look out for in each room.
There's a small gift shop in the entrance hall, and toilets in the basement. Up to date entry prices and opening times can be found on the English Heritage website.

9 years and London, finally made it! Well worth the visit, free for English Heritage members. Audio tour options are good and we were lucky enough to have an almost private guided talk

The audio tour was great. The staff were super friendly.

I visited this house today and I was very impressed with the exhibition. The Duke of Wellington is very famous so it was nice to see a glimpse of his life.

An architecturally impressive historic house and art collection. Friendly staff and good audio guide about the Duke of Wellington’s life.

What a beautiful place. Will need second visit as soon as possible much to see and adsorb

We couldn't believe the quantity and quality of the Duke's possessions. Far more impressive inside than outside. Excellent audio guides

Visited the home of Duke of Wellington , the Duke and two sons state robes on display from 1821 coronation . Some wonderful paintings of the Duke , Napoleon on walls . Stunning staircase and chandeliers in various rooms . We'll worth a visit robes on exhibition until October , present Duke who sits in house of Lords resides on upper level
