Without a doubt you can't get a better address than Apsley house historically know as No1 London. Its by Hyde Park Corner opposite Wellington Arch, and was the home of the Duke of Wellington. This was an amazing visit so much to see in the museum and rooms, There's so many oil paintings that you could spend hours going through them all. Like Wellington Arch, Apsley house is another property caretakered and managed by English Heritage. Loads of guides are available with a wealth of knowledge also you can pick up an electronic tour guide. The property and belongings are exceptionally well cared

Hugely impressive English Townhouse built in the late 1700’s and later home of the 1st Duke of Wellington. Brilliant collection of Battle of Waterloo memorabilia, artworks and personal items from Wellington himself.
Recommended!
★★★★☆
The London town house of the Duke of Wellington where he entertained European heads of state and nobility.
You can see 2 floors including the massive ballroom and dining room. There is plenty of his personal possessions and furniture on display. The main display is his collection of paintings which show his interests as well as the history of the period.
You'll learn a lot about the life and times of the Iron Duke.
The audio tour is free and informative.
