Wallace Collection

A short walk from either Marble Arch or Bond Street is the Wallace collection. There are some amazing finds, from Madame Pompadour's Sevres china tea sets to jewelry from the medieval era to an astounding collection of armory and portraits. There is something for everyone's taste. And best of all, admission is free. They serve a wonderful tea, and you're not crowded. It was nice to be able to just be able to soak in the ambiance and take my time. I'm still sure I missed things, though, there's just that much to see. Set in the original house, you are spared the sterilised tour experience.

The Wallace Collection in London, little known but truely a gem and not very well known. You need to search it out and perhaps do a little walking or just get a cab.

The children may well love it, fantastic collection of armour, paintings pottery etc everything, will take you way more time to see it all than you expect. Do allow at least 4 hours to visit, really great collection my family loved it and we will go again for sure and we live 6000 miles away

The Wallace Collection had been on our to-do list for several London visits and we went there on a Sunday morning in June and we agree with the previous reviews that.. “It is simply amazing!”……… Although much larger than we were expecting it is very intimate and comfortable to visit . As all the previous reviewers have said the collection is fantastic, however the quality and style of the décor and finish of all areas of the building is also to be admired.

The museum has a restaurant in the enclosed courtyard offering excellent food at all times of the day and we will be back to this very stylish oasis just off Oxford Street many times to enjoy lunches or afternoon teas etc.
