Apsley House: Entry Ticket

About this experience

Apsley House Tickets Apsley House tickets grant you access to one of London's most fascinating historic residences, famously known as 'Number One London' for its prestigious Hyde Park Corner address. This magnificent Georgian mansion served as the London home of the Duke of Wellington after his victory at Waterloo, and today houses an extraordinary collection of art, military memorabilia, and personal artifacts that tell the story of Britain's most celebrated military hero. The house showcases Wellington's impressive collection of paintings by masters including Velázquez, Goya, and Rubens, many acquired during his European military campaigns. The centrepiece Waterloo Gallery, where Wellington hosted his annual victory banquets, displays opulent state rooms preserved in their original 19th-century splendour. You'll explore the Duke's dining room, drawing rooms, and study, all furnished with period pieces and personal belongings that provide an authentic glimpse into aristocratic life during the Regency era.
