The Wallace Collection is a national museum in Marylebone, London, housing masterpieces of painting, sculpture, furniture, arms and armour, and porcelain, built up by the Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace before being given to the nation in 1897. It suits art lovers, history enthusiasts and anyone curious about London's heritage, with current highlights including an exhibition on Winston Churchill's paintings and a free display on the Collection's wartime history. Entry to the permanent collection is free and the museum is open daily from 10.00 to 17.00. It's a short walk from Bond Street station, just 0.4 miles away, and with 658 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it's an easy addition to a London stay, with The Serpentine in Hyde Park also nearby.
