Sir John Soane's Museum is the preserved house and collection of the Regency architect Sir John Soane, kept just as it was at his death in 1837 and filled with antiquities, sculpture, paintings and architectural models, including the sarcophagus of Seti I. You can walk in free of charge, explore the atmospheric interiors, and now visit the newly restored Drawing Office on a tour. It suits anyone curious about architecture, history or unusual house-museums. Located in Camden, it's close to City Thameslink station 0.6 miles away, with The Serpentine - Hyde Park beach 2.4 miles off, and 795 bookable places to stay within 5 miles make it an easy addition to a London stay.
