Spencer House
(
Highly Recommended
)
Built between 1756 and 1766 for Earl Spencer (an ancestor of the late Diana, Princess of Wales), Spencer House is London's
finest surviving mid-18th-century house. Indeed, it has been described as London's most magnificent private palace. After
being completely restored at a cost of £16 million, it was opened to visitors in 1990. The 1-hour guided tour takes in eight
rooms featuring elegant gilded decorations and period paintings and furniture.
