✏️ About
This is one of the most special museums in London. Its charm it in its simplicity as it is an architects ex-home. But once you get inside, prepared to be mesmerised.
From a mummy’s sarcophagus to numerous antiques and pieces of art. Sir John Soane museum is truly a hidden gem in the hear of London.
The house itself is beautiful. It is said to be filled with hidden doors, optical illusions (which are actually hard to find) and a beautiful art collection.

‘‘I won’t say too much about this museum, except that it has a very special charm—visiting feels like stepping into an exceptional, extraordinary home, as if you’re exploring a friend’s residence.
Walking through its halls and floors….’’
