One of the great things about this collection is how permanently it is displayed. The watered moire silk drapery and matching wall hangings in each room provide a perfect backdrop for the collection. The restaurant is a nice surprise and don't skip the gift shop....More

The Wallace Collection houses some wonderful paintings and artefacts. Not as busy as some of the central London museums, there were even times when we found ourselves alone in expansive rooms staring at beautiful paintings and portraits - including the Laughing Cavalier!

Well worth a visit - an excellent collection, well displayed and with ample room to view everything. But some of the staff were very family unfriendly, which took the edge of an otherwise fulfilling visit. While encouraging my grand-daughter to read the signs on antique...More

Marylebone
Marylebone offers what so many London neighbourhoods
cannot: a village feel coupled with urban convenience.
Much of its success rests in its location. Wedged
between the northeastern corner of Hyde Park and the
