Leighton House museum and garden, situated on the edge of Holland Park, is Grade II listed. This historic house, once the residence and studio of Victorian artist Frederic Lord Leighton, is renowned for its opulent interiors and association with the Holland Park Circle – a group of artists who built studio houses in the vicinity.
An extensive restoration and extension by architects BDP have enabled the house to operate more efficiently as a visitor attraction while preserving its heritage. Elevating the historic Leighton House to new heights, the project stands as a meticulous endeavour to preserve and enhance the legacy of this iconic landmark. Central to it is the creation of new facilities for collection care, visitor amenities, and step-free access, improving the museum’s accessibility and functionality.
