Two Temple Place
Panoramica
Despite its central location between Covent Garden and the City of London, Two Temple Place does not pop up on many visitors' radars. Few people seem to know about this place, but a visit to see the grand and rather quirky interior is well worth the trip.
Originally owned by William Waldorf Astor, the house includes many of the items he collected, but they're not what you might expect from a Victorian home. You’ll find statues and artwork depicting characters from The Three Musketeers, Rip Van Winkle, several Shakespearean plays, Robin Hood, the legends of King Arthur and a lot more. This is definitely a hidden gem ready for exploring.
The house is only open to the public during an annual exhibition and on specific other dates, so it’s important to check before visiting.

As part of the fair, I got to wander through the Lower Gallery, the Great Hall (the main ballroom), and the two smaller rooms - the Morris Room and the Library. All of them... Continua

in November 2011, this is the fabulous
home & Estate office of Lord Astor & where

That place is amazing. Stuck between the embankment and construction site this private manor was once the office of William Waldorf Astor, the man who owned half of Manhattan.
The place is only opened when exhibit are on (currently one about beauty in Egypt).
The guides in the rooms are really helpful and they know tons about the place (really you can ask any question, they have the answer)... Continua
