Two Temple Place

Two Temple Place is not generally open to the public, unless it is hosting an exhibition. I visited this venue when it was hosting a wedding fair and was absolutely taken by how beautiful the place was — inside and outside. As part of the fair, I got to wander through the Lower Gallery, the Great Hall (the main ballroom), and the two smaller rooms — the Morris Room and the Library. All of them were very pretty, with the Great Hall (duh) being by far the most beautiful, what with the stained glass windows and all.
Now, as you might have guessed, this venue is available for hire, and you can choose to hire part or all of the building for your special event (or special day). And, truth be told? If — and this is a big if — I were a heck of a lot wealthier, this place would be right at the top of my list. How could a wedding be anything other than amazing in a place like this?
But, you know, if you just want to take a look at this place, you can become a Friend of Two Temple Place and book a place on their monthly guide tours. At £10, it’s a whole lot more affordable. :)

Opened to the public for the first time
in November 2011, this is the fabulous
home & Estate office of Lord Astor & where
he also allegedly kept a mistress. Built
to his specifications in 1870.
So much attention to detail, he obviously loved wood & marble as much as I do.
First exhibition was for William Morris & it was a perfect setting

it cannot get better than this in my eyes… in my eyes literally. Outstandingly beautiful house and William Morris to boot. Feast thine eyes upon great beauty… FREE of charge. Wonderful smiley happy staff (who wouldn’t be in such surroundings).
Go.
