Leighton House and Sambourne House

Leighton House is the former home of the Victorian artist Frederic, Lord Leighton (1830-1896). The highlight of any visit is the spectacular Arab Hall and its striking collection of tiles from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Sambourne House is the ‘House Beautiful’ of Victorian illustrator Linley Sambourne (1844-1910) and his family. The extravagant and eclectic interiors remain practically intact. It showcases a selection of his most memorable works for Punch magazine as well as Sambourne’s vast collection of photographs.
