    The Wallace Collection are exquisite paintings!! So beautiful - all of them. And the frames are so grand and spectacular and are art pieces to enjoy as well. What a beautiful house! I would love to visit this grand place. The antique articles, furniture, and vases are something to see. I also loved that chandelier. Beautiful. And smart to have a cafe! I enjoyed seeing London's secret!!

      This is far better than the French hidden gem. A large and various of collection paintings.
      This is the equivalent of Louvres Museum

    We were there exactly one year ago. Prior to our trip I was researching attractions and stumbled across The Wallace. It is an amazing museum and I have been blessed to visit many of the world's best in the US and western Europe.

    What an amazing collection of pictures. To see them in real life must be wonderful. There was also some beautiful furniture. I loved the daisy jug. The Italian plates and dishes were really pretty. The armor was impressive. The work that goes into them is really something. I would like to visit here.

    I visited the Wallace Collection in 2019 when, apart from the usual exhibits, they had a fabulous display of Manolo Blahnik shoes. I love that it is an old mansion and you move from room to room - all that and it costs nothing! Fabulous!

    Shame you missed the Laughing Cavalier but that means you’ll have to go back there. You will see so many delights that you missed the first time. Last time I was in London I was staying about 20 minutes’ walk away in Mount St, so it was at the top of my list of places to visit.

    The majority of tourists to London stay only for a few days so the Wallace Collection wouldn’t be on their must-see list. That’s good news for Londoners because it doesn’t get overwhelmed by crowds. A real favourite of mine and another advantage is the location in an overall non touristy area of central London.
