Emmanuel Society Apsley House Curator's Tour

3:00pm – Apsley House, 149 Piccadilly, London, W1J 7NT

Members were given a special curator-led tour of Apsley House, the palatial London residence of the Duke of Wellington, who defeated Napolean at the Battle of Waterloo. Known as Number One, London, Apsley House is a unique survival of an aristocratic house in Central London. The house has changed little since Waterloo in 1815 and contains one of the finest art collections in London, with paintings by Velazquez and Rubens, as well as a wonderful collection of silver and porcelain.
