Surprsingly good

I have always been interested in the life of the First Duke of Wellington. Toured Apsley house and enjoyed it a lot. My girlfriend who has no interest in the Duke enjoyed the tour as well...

I have always been interested in the life of the First Duke of Wellington. Toured Apsley house and enjoyed it a lot. My girlfriend who has no interest in the Duke enjoyed the tour as well particularly the plate and the artwork.

A nice museum that most miss.

The Grenadier pub is not far from here but a bit tricky to find (which is 1/2 the fun). Wellington Arch nearby is also worth a very quick peak.
