Soane Museum
Sir John Soane was one of the UK’s best established architects. Born in 1753, the son of a bricklayer, Soane died in 1837 after a long and distinguished career, leaving his home as a setting for his antiquities and his works of art. After the death of his wife in 1815, he lived here alone, constantly adding to and rearranging his collections. He established the house as a museum to which ‘amateurs and students’ should have access.

Parkstead House

Closest to Nicky Haslam’s heart is the Roehampton Parkstead House, established in 1738 by his great-great-great-great grandfather William Ponsonby, 2nd Earl of Bessborough. Nicky serves on the board of The Ponsonby Temple Appeal, a committee created to oversee the resurrection of the Ponsonby Temple on the estate’s grounds.
