Somerset House

About Somerset House

Nestled between the Strand and the River Thames in central London, once the location of a Tudor palace owned by the Duke of Somerset, Somerset House is a grand neoclassical 6.5 acre building complex.

It is set around a spectacular courtyard, with a large terrace offering stunning views of the River Thames. Originally constructed in the late 18th century by Sir William Chambers, it was expanded in the Victorian era with a New Wing by James Pennethorne.

In 2025, Somerset House celebrates its 25th birthday, marking its extraordinary transformation to one of London’s best-loved cultural spaces and home to one of the largest creative communities in the UK.
