About Friends, Patrons, Exhibition Circle and Adopt A Watts Trip: Leighton House and Sambourne House

Monday 22 May

10.30am – 4pm

Friends, Patrons, Exhibition Circle and Adopt A Watts Members

Tucked away in Holland Park are Leighton House and Sambourne House. Combining living and studio space, they are the extraordinary legacies left by two ‘celebrities’ of the late Victorian era – Frederic Lord Leighton and Edward Linley Sambourne. Leighton and Sambourne lived as neighbours for over 20 years and had many acquaintances in common including George Frederic Watts.

Leighton House has recently undergone a major restoration with new displays, a new gallery and new contemporary commissions.
