Linley Sambourne House Museum London


Situated in Kensington and a 10-minute walk away from Leighton House Museum, This uniquely well preserved late Victorian town house was the home of Edward Linley Sambourne, the Punch cartoonist, illustrator and photographer (1844-1910). The house retains many of its original features including much of its furniture, furnishings and decoration from the 1870s. In addition there is a large collection of Chinese export porcelain, mostly blue and white, and dating from the 17th to 19th centuries. These are displayed throughout the house, alongside fine examples of English tin-glazed wares of the 17th and 18th centuries. There are also two Whitefriars glass lampshades, c 1870, and a collection of miscellaneous glass items such as drinking glasses.
