WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

MORE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

Considered one of the most inventive European architects of his time, John Soane is most notably famous as the architect to the Bank of England and the Dulwich Picture Gallery. Born the son of a bricklayer, the English architect specialising in Neo-Classical began as a modest country house architect, later rising to the top of his profession. In 1806 he was appointed as the professor of architecture at the Royal Academy, receiving his knighthood in 1831. Designed by the eccentric architect himself, his home in Lincoln’s Inn Fields houses an extraordinary personal collection of antiquities and architectural salvage. During your Highlights Tour, an expert guide will divulge the greatest artifacts of Soane’s 40 000-strong collection of worldly curiosities. After your tour you can sit and relax for three-course lunch at Clos Maggiore. The restaurant has received numerous awards for culinary excellence and the quality of its wine cellar. A canopy of cherry blossoms in a charming conservatory provides the perfect ambience for dining on modern French and European dishes in summer, while in winter the space is transformed by a welcoming log fire and twinkling candles.
