Meeting Point: In front of Spencer House, 27 St James’s Place, London SW1A 1NR.
Come and discover Spencer House, the Queen of London townhouses in the heart of aristocratic St James!
You cannot possibly miss the imposing façade of Spencer House while walking down Green Park: it beckons at you like a majestic antique temple, a testament to the grandeur and magnificence of the Spencer family. It was built in the mid eighteenth century by the first Earl Spencer and was to to be a showcase of his exquisite taste and culture and a political and social hub where members of the Whig party gathered regularly.
Our guide will lead this private tour of the house after taking us round exclusive St James. Private gentlemen’s clubs, exclusive shops, scented hair powder, love and intrigue, a lot of gambling and drinking, that will be the talk of our day!
Advice to participants:
– Wear ultra-comfortable shoes.
– Check weather forecasts and make sure you have warm and waterproof clothes if necessary. Being cold on a walking tour can spoil the entire experience.
– Do not hesitate to bring a little snack with you (nuts or biscuits) and a flask of your favourite drink.
