How can I have missed 18 Stafford Terrace for so long? We went to visit it on Sunday for the first time and it was a revelation.
On a quiet street in Kensington, the house was bought in
1875 by the artist and Punch cartoonist Linley Sambourne, and his family lived
there for the best part of a century, filling it with the eclectic and
fascinating acquisitions of Linley and his successors.
But the most spectacular part of the visit was the performance by
a brilliant unnamed actress as Linley Sambourne’s wife, Marion. She was note
perfect, but who was she?
They only take small groups, so it’s advisable to book in
advance: http://www.rbkc.gov.uk/subsites/museums/18staffordterrace1.aspx
