Book your 'Out Shopping Exhibition Experience' for full access to both Leighton House and Sambourne House, exhibition galleries and film.
Tucked away in Holland Park, a leafy neighbourhood in West London, stand Leighton House and Sambourne House. Combining living and studio space, the houses remain largely unchanged today.
Leighton House is the former home of leading Victorian artist, Frederic, Lord Leighton (1830-1896) and showcases an exceptional collection of 19th c. art throughout its unique interiors, including the iconic Arab Hall, with an indoor fountain and Islamic tiles. Reopened in October 2022 following a major redevelopment, the museum is now presented with additional displays, improved facilities and step-free access. With free-to-visit areas including the De Morgan café, garden and temporary exhibitions.
Sambourne House is a time capsule providing a fascinating insight into the lives of illustrator Linley Sambourne (1844-1910) and his family. Sambourne House is a surviving example of an 'aesthetic interior' or 'House Beautiful' with William Morris wallpapers, Chinese ceramics, and a wide selection of Sambourne’s own work.
Join us for visits, events, family fun or just pop over for a coffee. Both houses are located within walking distance and joint tickets are available.
