Addresses don't come much grander than "Number One London", the
popular name for Apsley House, one of the most interesting visitor
attractions in London. Home to the Duke of Wellington after his
victory over Napoleon at Waterloo, the interior of the house has
changed very little since the days of the Iron Duke.
It boasts one of the finest art collections in London, with
paintings by Velazquez and Rubens as well as a wonderful collection
of silver and porcelain. Pride of place goes to a massive nude
statue of Napoleon. Why not include a stroll through nearby Hyde
Park, and a visit to nearby Wellington Arch for a great value
family day out in London.
