Please join us for this exclusive private visit of the famed Spencer House, not opened to the general public. Now in part the Offices of Lord Jacob Rothschild and the other part his private entertaining space at a stone throw from St James's and Buckingham Palaces.
We are priviledged to have been granted an exclusive private view of Spencer House on Monday 7th December that will be followed by a glass of Champagne in one of its magnificent rooms.
Please arrive in the Hall by 12:20pm so that the Tour can start promptly at 12:30 pm, we anticipate that this will take an hour. Prepare to be awed.
From its conception, Spencer House was recognised as one of the most ambitious aristocratic town houses ever built in London and is, today, the city's only great eighteenth-century private palace to survive intact.
Spencer House was built in 1756-66 for John, first Earl Spencer, father of Georgina, Duchess of Devonshire andan ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales (1961-97). Situated in the heart of St James's, Spencer House is a short distance from St James's Palace, Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Westminster, and has a splendid terrace and garden with magnificent views of Green Park.
| "I do not apprehend there is
a house in Europe of its size, better worth the view of the curious in
architecture and the fitting up and furnishing great houses, than Lord Spencer's
in St James's Place… I know not in England a more beautiful piece of architecture…in richness, elegance and taste, superior to any house I have seen." |
