Drake is widely considered to be one of the greatest seafarers of his time. His epic expeditions elevated him to legendary status in England. Overseas, however, he was feared and reviled as a pirate and slave trader. Indeed his skills as a naval commander so terrified his enemies that many suspected him of witchcraft, even of being in league with the devil.
The Hinde was instrumental in Drake’s defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, thwarting their attempt to launch an invasion on England.

Step back into that era as you explore this faithful reconstruction, with its 22 cannons, carved golden figurehead and towering masts, all handcrafted using traditional techniques and materials. That commitment to authenticity continues right down to tiny details including the bottles of scented water Drake was known to have used.
Take a seat at the captain’s table and discover how the crew lived in cramped conditions below deck – crew members in period costume will be on hand to bring the ship’s story to life and answer any questions you have.

See beautifully restored rooms and exhibits relating to Keats’ life.
Stroll through the pretty garden that inspired several of Keats’ poems.

Formerly Wentworth Place and the home of John Keats between 1818 and 1820, Keats House is now a museum dedicated to the poet’s life and works.
Wentworth Place is a charming 19th-century villa set on the edge of Hampstead Heath. Keats enjoyed something of a purple patch during the two years he lived here with his friend Charles Brown, inspired by the garden with its peaceful orchard and also, no doubt, by the beautiful young woman who lived next door. It’s here that Keats composed Ode to a Nightingale, Ode on Melancholy and Ode on a Grecian Urn.

That woman next door was Fanny Brawne, with whom Keats entered into a doomed relationship, beginning with their informal engagement in June 1819 and ending with his premature death from tuberculosis in Rome in 1821, at just 25 years old.
Throughout Keats House’s charmingly restored rooms, a number of exhibits provide insight into the life and loves of Keats, including the engagement ring he gave to Fanny Brawne and a copy of his death mask depicting the poet as he looked at the time of his death.
You can look around the museum independently, or contact Keats House direct on 02073 323868 to ask about joining one of their tours. These are run by volunteer guides loaded with facts and anecdotes about Keats and his time here at Wentworth Place.

Set on the banks of the Thames, Chelsea Physic Garden was established by The Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in 1673 for research into medicinal plants.
The garden’s location was originally selected for proximity to the river and its warm air currents. The resulting microclimate means it can cultivate plants that rarely thrive outdoors in the UK, such as the UK’s largest fruiting olive tree. During the long hot summer of 1976, it yielded a record-breaking 7lb crop!
Take a look inside the beautiful glasshouses for exotic species including cacao, coffee and cotton plants. The glasshouses have a long tradition in the gardens, having been used to cultivate warm-climate plants here for over 300 years. The current hothouses are over a century old.
At the center of the garden, bustling with Mediterranean, alpine and aquatic plants, the tranquil Pond Rockery is a Grade II-listed structure that – at 250 years old – is thought to be the oldest rock garden in Europe.

The Foundling Hospital was the first children’s charity in the UK and directly contributed to housing over 25,000 children between its inception in 1739 and closure in the mid-20th Century.
This home for abandoned children counted portrait painter William Hogarth among its founding governors. Hogarth was instrumental in raising the hospital’s profile, donating some of his own paintings and encouraging fellow high-profile artists including Francis Hayman and Thomas Gainsborough to do the same.

You can view the museum’s extensive gallery of portraits by these and other artists, as well as contemporary works by Grayson Perry, Yinka Shonibare, Tracey Emin and more.
The collection also includes an impressive bust of composer Handel, by French sculptor Louis-François Roubiliac. Handel himself held a benefit concert in the chapel of the Foundling Hospital in 1749, performing the specially composed piece Foundling Hospital Anthem, which included a chorus from his Messiah oratorio. In later years, he also directed annual performances of Messiah at the hospital. The museum’s extensive collection of Handel-related items includes sound recordings, concert tickets, and his will bequeathing the full Messiah score to the hospital.
Some of the museum’s most moving artifacts, however, are the identifying tokens left by mothers with their babies in the hospital’s early years. These tiny personal objects include trinkets, thimbles and customized coins, ribbons and rings.
The Foundling Museum is located opposite Brunswick Square, close to the Foundling Hospital’s original site and Coram’s Fields, named in honor of hospital founder Thomas Coram, and one of the largest children’s parks in London.

The walkways between the towers were closed in 1910 due to a bad reputation as a haunt for prostitutes and pickpockets as they were only accessible by stairs and seldom used by pedestrians. The walkway was reopened in 1982 as part of the Tower Bridge exhibition.

The Wernher Collection at Ranger’s House showcases an extraordinary set of medieval, Renaissance and early modern artworks, unique wood carvings, religious statues, Gothic ivories and handcrafted furniture.
The 700-piece collection was amassed by 19th-century diamond magnate Sir Julius Wernher. Born in Darmstadt, Germany in 1850, he moved to London in his early 20s and later ventured to the newly discovered diamond mines in Kimberley, South Africa, where he developed a fortune that made him one of Britain’s wealthiest men at the time.

Wernher’s immense wealth allowed him to invest heavily in art, perhaps his primary passion. He was a fan of ‘splendidly ugly’ artworks, primarily smaller ivories, metalworks, wood carvings, and enamels from the Renaissance and medieval periods. These unique pieces often portrayed unusual subject matter and are richly - or garishly - embellished and decorative.
English Heritage acquired Ranger’s House—the former abode of the 4th Earl of Chesterfield, and later the home of Greenwich Park rangers (groundskeepers)—in 1986. A decade later, they worked with the Wernher Foundation to bring Julius Werner’s collection to Ranger’s House and saved it from being sold off to individual collectors and institutions.

History of the Royal Mews

The Royal Mews has been the location of the sovereign's road transport since 1760 when George III moved his carriage collection closer to his new home at Buckingham Palace. Since then, it has been updated by several monarchs in keeping with their changing transport needs.
Among the historic coaches and carriages on display are the spectacular Diamond Jubilee State Coach, and the Australian State Coach, which was given to Queen Elizabeth II as a gift from the Australian people.

Cleveland Bays, another type of horse used to pull the carriages, are one of the oldest breeds of horses in the UK.
The Royal stables were originally located in Charing Cross, where the National Gallery is today.
Queen Victoria took full advantage of the ample space at the Royal Mews. She kept up to 200 horses there at one point and also set up a school for the children of its employees.
The Gold State Coach weighs almost four tonnes and needs eight horses to draw it. It never moves faster than walking speed.

A little history...

Built by famed and fashionable architect Robert Adam between 1771 and 1778 Apsley House was created for Lord Chancellor Henry, 1st Baron Apsley (later 2nd Earl Bathurst) at the entrance to Hyde Park. It was known as Number 1, London because it was the first house encountered by visitors coming from the west and through Knightsbridge.
Following his momentous victory at the Battle of Waterloo, Sir Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington purchased the house.
Apsley House grew significantly under Wellington. A three-storey extension was added to the north-east, featuring the stunning State Dining Room, new bedrooms and dressing rooms. In 1828, a brand new staircase and the opulent, striking Waterloo Gallery were added to Apsley House.
Today, part of Apsley House provides a home for the current Duke of Wellington. It is London’s only aristocratic townhouse still in use today. The rest of Apsley opened as a museum in 1952. It is laid out to reflect how it looked during the time of the first Duke of Wellington’s residence.

Apsley House facts

Wellington is considered one of the greatest ever British military heroes but was in fact born in Dublin, Ireland.
There are over 90 pubs named after the Duke of Wellington in the UK.
Wellington Boots gain their names from the Duke of Wellington. He wore multipurpose, customised footwear during military campaigns, which had a lower heel and more of a lining. They started being manufactured from rubber rather than leather in 1852, but the name stuck.

As one of central London’s royal residences, Kensington Palace has been a home and refuge to the royal family since the 17th century. Now, it is the official residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Built in 1605, it has roots in Jacobean architecture and was first known as Nottingham House. William III and Mary II were crowned jointly in 1689, and were instrumental in transforming Nottingham House into Kensington Palace.

When Queen Mary died from smallpox in 1694, William was overcome with grief. Despite this he finished the building with a grand gallery at the south of the Palace, enlarging Sir Christopher Wren’s original plan. Now it is one of London’s most exquisite palaces and comes with acres of manicured gardens and the world-famous Orangery.

Once you’ve seen all there is to see inside, take a wander around the 30-acres of Palace Garden and explore this oasis right in the heart of the capital. Check out the sunken garden which is home to impressive floral displays all year round. The palace also hosts an ever-changing array of exhibitions, so be sure to check out the website before you go to make the most of your visit.

Contemporary couture worn by high profile celebrities, including Lizzo and Lady Gaga, will be displayed alongside historic costume, drawing fascinating parallels between the world of the red carpet and the world of the Royal Court in the 18th Century. With over 200 objects, it’s set to be the largest exhibition ever staged at the palace.
