Sudley House has been described as a hidden gem. Tucked away in the leafy suburbs with its wonderful artworks it's easy to see why. Sudley is the only house of a Victorian merchant that still has its original pictures, and with the period furniture and rich atmosphere you could almost imagine it's still someone's home. And it is all FREE!

What to see in Sudley House

Ground floor

Most of the paintings and furniture can be found on the ground floor. They include works by Millais, Burne-Jones, Alma-Tadema, Rodin, Lord Leighton, Strudwick, Turner, Rossetti, Holman Hunt, Gainsborough, Romney, Reynolds and Landseer. With beautiful period furniture, carpets and wallpaper Sudley House doesn't feel like a regular gallery.

There's more on the artworks in our room guide.
The cafe, cloakroom and toilets are also on the ground floor.

First floor

There are several rooms on the first floor. They include a childhood room, a small world room and a costume room. Temporary displays are often housed in these rooms.
