Kristjan WagerFebruary 14, 2016Great little museum in the Duke of Wellington's home. Contains a great art collection. Ticket can be combinded with a ticket to the museum inside Wellington Arch, just across the street.
HISTORY UKFebruary 10, 2011The Duke of Wellington’s home was known popularly as Number One, London, because after entering London through the old Knightsbridge toll-gate it was the first house you passed.
AnastasiaSeptember 4, 2014Worth visiting at least for the astonishing collection of art: paintings by Correggio, Velázquez, Rubens, Van Dyck, and, of course, the enormous (3.45 m) nude statue of Napoleon by Antonio Canova.
マイケル クリアリーDecember 1, 2019Great museum in The Duke of Wellington's home, part of English Heritage and so better to subscribe for £5 a month than buy a ticket. Free audio guide available, no photo's allowed.
Elliott BrownAugust 26, 2015No photography allowed inside the house. Plenty of nice portraits including many of Napoleon. Former home of 1st Duke of Wellington. Reminds you of the Napoleonic Wars and gifts given to Wellington.
Alison CharlesNovember 16, 2017Surprising hidden away gem. Can be done in a couple of hours so great paired with doing something else.
InterContinental Hotels & ResortsFebruary 22, 2013Adjacent to the hotel is Apsley House, a museum most visitors miss. Once the grand home of the Duke of Wellington, his descendants live there still, the address was for many years 1 London.

Gordon WaltersNovember 21, 2010A hidden gem. Bit faded grandure but the artworks were a pleasant surprise.
Nuno Basto de LimaJuly 5, 2015Just voted negatively mainly for the whole advertise about dragging people out here and only after buying tickets they tell you you're not allowed to take pictures!
