Apsley House, n.1 London - Private tour (in French)
Saturday 21 June 2025 | 10.30 am
(visit ends at 12.30 and we can have a drink/lunch in Hyde Park
or nearby afterwards for those who wish).
📍 149 Piccadilly, London W1J 7NT (i.e devant Apsley House).
Come and discover what is hiding behind the busiest traffic island in London!
Number 1, London: the address is easy to remember, the site is unmissable - who has never driven past Hyde Park Corner? – and the house is full of invaluable treasures.
Together we will relive the Napoleonic epic story (most ironically with French Blue Badge Guide Muriel Carré) and explore the house of the imperious Duke of Wellington.
We will talk about battles won and lost, statues and horses, wives and mistresses, not to mention the treasures that fill that historic house: sumptuous old master paintings, beautiful silver services and sets of porcelain, and also some rather quirky curios. And frankly, who could resist the temptation of seeing Napoleon naked? Come and join us at Hyde Park Corner for an unforgettable morning of discoveries.
As it is on a Saturday, you can come with a +1.
🎟️ £24 (the ticket price includes the entry to Apsley House and the private guided tour).
