Leighton House

Lord Leighton's astonishing Victorian studio-house with a gilded Arab Hall lined with 16th-century Islamic tiles. Set in in the heart of Holland Park, the artist home draws visitors from around the world who come to experience its unique atmosphere firsthand.

The artist home is particularly notable for its Arab Hall with Islamic tiles, dating from the Victorian era,. Visitors are often struck by the sense of stepping back in time — the interiors, collections, and overall character speak directly to the era they represent. The influence of Aesthetic Movement is evident throughout.

The urban location makes for a pleasant approach, and once inside, the atmosphere is thoughtful and unhurried. It is the kind of place that rewards a slow visit — the details repay attention. Most visitors leave with a deeper appreciation for Frederic Leighton's work and life.
