Sambourne House - (Near Lambeth, london)

5 /5 Clementine Bernhardt: What a jewel box! So pleased I heard about this place (oddly, via Instagram). Frozen in time, beautiful moody Victorian decor. Well worth a visit. Accessibility note, as it mentioned on the website, not buggy friendly but you can store a limited number in the basement.

5 /5 Lena Hirtl: wow, what a special gem! This townhouse is still set back in time, like it has been untouched for 100+ years! So so beautiful, if you love maximalist, antique interior design and visiting a real, lived-in looking family house. The staff on site were also very kind to offer some details or facts about each room! Would definitely visit again!

5 /5 Donna: Ive wanted to visit since 1989 so I was delighted to finally get here! Loved the character, the staff were amazing and the atmosphere perfect. I loved that a staff member swept the stairs as I was in the bedroom, the sound just emphasised that this was a home, not a sterile museum. Recommended 100x especially for children covering Victorians at school. Brilliant

5 /5 Rob: We were very lucky to get a free tour which I recommend as you get no context or stories about the house otherwise. Each room has so many beautiful things inside it. Paintings, ceramics, furniture and more. You see more things as you look around. It’s an absolutely stunning house to look around

5 /5 Alison Medd: I did this as a combined ticket with Leighton House. You would have to REALLY love Victorian interiors otherwise. It’s a dark brooding house with steep stairs but the interiors are stunningly evocative and very much of the period. The entrance is well hidden with very steep stairs down as entry is through the basement.
