Friday, 12 December · Leighton House, London
10.30am–12pm GMT
Behind a modest Kensington façade lies a world of colour, craftsmanship and architectural ambition.
The centrepiece is the famed Arab Hall, inspired by Islamic architecture and lined with tiles from Syria, Turkey and Persia. Modelled on a 12th-century palace in Palermo, it remains one of Britain’s most remarkable interiors.
Leighton’s vast, light-filled studio offers a glimpse into the working life of a leading Victorian painter, while the surrounding rooms reveal a quieter, more personal side of the man who shaped his home as carefully as his art.
Join us on 12 December for an intimate guided visit and experience the rare beauty of a house where creativity, history and design meet.
