'The former residence of one of Britain’s greatest⁠ architects (Soane designed the Bank of England and⁠ the Dulwich Picture Gallery) still houses his vast collection of art and antiquities, arranged just as he left it – right down to the ancient sarcophagus in the basement. The tiny Picture Room is a marvel, full of hidden masterpieces such as Hogarth’s The⁠ Rake’s Progress, revealed at set intervals throughout the day from behind movable walls. There’s a truly dizzying number of artefacts on display but if you find yourself wanting more, head to Pitzhanger Manor in Acton, Soane’s country pile, which is now⁠ a contemporary gallery.'⁠ ⁠ Gallery: Sir John Soane's Museum @soanemuseum⁠ Image: Gareth Gardner @gardnergareth⁠ ⁠ As featured in 'An Opinionated Guide to Art London' by Christina Brown @christinarosebrown available to pre-order now.
