Dennis Severs' House

Stunning, unique, atmospheric - there aren't enough superlatives. A true oasis of time travel in London. Beautiful antique furnishings & décor; candlelight & homeliness, including fire-warmth and smells. A must for lovers of history, interiors, architecture.
No touching of objects or photos inside.
We took the silent self guided tour, which I loved.

This was just the most amazing and captivating place. It was recommended to is by the freinds we went with.
The tour is in silence and this adds to the experience.
There is so much detail to take in, you need at least an hour, but 2 hours would still be time well spent.
We are going to go at other times to get other seasonal experiences.

Holy cow. If you love history and enjoy a fully immersive experience of a home from 18th-19th century, you MUST come here. There are so many things to experience in London, but this hidden gem is definitely one of them.

Absolutely loved it the perfect Christmas experience ! Every room was fascinating with an amazing collection of things from that period in time. The lighting by candlelight and the fires in every room added to the atmosphere and authentic smell of an old property. What a hidden gem and labour of love-pure theatre . No one rushed us and visitors are staggered so it was just us in every room rather than a group.
If you get the chance to visit l highly recommend it .

Intensely atmospheric even down to the authentic sooty smokey whiffs from the only form of heating in the whole house - solid fuel burning in all the key rooms. The decor is entirely genuine in look & feel. One can indeed imagine how life must have been lived 200-300 years ago. But the cream of the experience was the excellent rendering of the story of the house & it’s inhabitants over the centuries. Joel was an accomplished scene setter & story teller!
Compelling & commanding although there is so much to take in visually that one’s attention can drift!
My only huff is that we weren’t offered a glass of mulled wine at the end as reviews show some attendees have been. Nevertheless a special & very memorable experience. We urge you to go!

Calm, welcoming, fascinating visually engaging. Not stuffy nor 'precious' eg it's OK to sit in the chairs and quietly absorb the ambiance.

Fascinating. Unique. Maximalist. There is nowhere quite like Dennis Servers’ house! It’s part museum, part art gallery and part interactive experience. It’s the history of one man’s life and passion. A mixture of period pieces, flea market bargains and original pieces of art. The house itself is amazing and a rare chance to experience what life must have been like for the Huguenots who lived in the area. But the arrangement of so many different and unusual things creates an otherworldly environment like no other. Enhanced with aromas and soundscapes you momentarily forget about the outside world. The staff are very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and make the whole experience unforgettable.
