Apsley House

Apsley House: Originally the London home of the first Duke of Wellington (famous for defeating Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo), Apsley House dates back to 1778 and retains some of the finest Regency interiors, unrivalled silver and porcelain collection and paintings by Velazquez, van dyke and Rubens. The Wellington family still reside at the property, which is colloquially known as ‘Number 1 London’ because it was the first house after passing the tollgates at the top of Knightsbridge.
