It’s definitely a treat to get to go into a house in this part of London!
It’s a National Trust property so I don’t know whether I would visit it if I wasn’t a member, but it makes for an interesting visit. The garden in particular is lovely and well tended.
As well as it being a house of an eminent victorian literary figure, it’s also worth seeing as an example of how the other half lived in this era in general. It is set over several floors and it was a bit crowded when I went, but it can’t really be helped given the layout of the house.
It makes for an interesting afternoon out, but not a whole day’s activity! It helped me answer a question on 'University Challenge’ the week after so I must have learnt something whilst I was there!
