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 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.

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.

Once the site of a royal retreat, Eltham Palace mixes medieval features with 1930s design in an intoxicating brew of British architecture, history and culture.
A young Prince Henry - later known as Henry VIII - spent much of his youth here in the 1500s and developed a real affection for the place. But, by the end of the 19th century, just the Great Hall, a bridge crossing the palace’s moat, and some original walls remained.
The site was acquired by high society millionaires Stephen and Virginia Courtauld in 1933. They commissioned leading architects and designers of the time to create a lavish modern palace on the site. The exterior is designed in the ‘Renaissance’ style and takes architectural cues from Hampton Court Palace, but the interior is pure Art Deco modernism.
The stunning Entrance Hall features a fabulous glazed dome through which light enters dramatically, illuminating the entranceway. Elsewhere, the dining and drawing rooms, along with Virginia’s bedroom and ensuite showcase cutting-edge 1930s design.
English Heritage took on Eltham Palace in 1995, eventually opening it to the public. The contrasting of the medieval hall and the 1930s palace, along with the rich and varied history of the site, make Eltham Hall one of the most unique architectural attractions anywhere in the capital.

This striking UNESCO World Heritage Site was built under the instruction of William the Conqueror in the 1070s to demonstrate the power of the Normans following a successful battle on English shores.
Since its time as an imposing fortress,  the Tower has served as a palace, an armory, a prison, and even a zoo! These days, however, it's the brilliant Yeoman Warders, or Beefeaters as they are known, that people come to see, as they give fascinating tours of the grounds all the while safeguarding the sensational British Crown Jewels.

Did you know?

Anne Boleyn, one of Henry VIII's many wives, was sentenced to death right here. Arrested for adultery and plotting against the King's life, Anne was taken by barge through the famous Traitor's Gate. Despite protesting her innocence, her head was parted from her body in quite the gruesome fashion that was very in vogue in the 1500s. Anne Boleyn, along with many other high-profile individuals like Lady Jane Grey, met a grisly fate right here, and it's said that some still haunt the execution grounds to this day...

Tower of London Highlights

Crown Jewels - a stunning 142-item collection of ceremonial jewel-encrusted objects that serve among the royal regalia during the coronation of British Monarchs. The collection includes swords, orbs, scepters, rings, amulets, and of course the almighty St. Edward’s Crown.
Yeoman Warders - officially the Yeomen Warders of His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary - but since that is quite a mouthful, they are known more commonly as the Beefeaters. These retired servicemen now protect the Crown Jewels and lead tours of the Tower of London.
The Ravens - these six ‘guardians of the Tower’ are looked after by a designated Ravenmaster and are kept here as legend has it that ‘the kingdom will fall if the ravens ever leave the Tower…’
