THE BEST ADDRESS IN THE CAPITAL

The Duke of Wellington’s former home, Apsley House, is fondly known as ‘Number One London’, thanks to its prestigious location at the juncture of Park Lane and Knightsbridge. Tens of thousands of Londoners pass by its majestic Robert Adam façade every day, yet few realise this magnificent Georgian townhouse is open to the public as a museum and gallery, housing one of London’s finest art collections - including works by Velazquez, Rubens, Goya and van Dyck - in intimate, elegant surroundings.
