Alistair

The Arab Hall is beautiful. £10 is a bit steep though if you're not so fussed about the artwork and just want to see the building.

Hotel Indigo

One of Kensington's hidden gems , the museum was originally the home and studio of Victorian artist Lord Leighton. Outside, you can enjoy nature's own artistry in the peaceful garden .

Remi Lefevre

An eclectic and most interesting private collection in the house of the artist himself, Lord Leighton PRA. The Arab Hall justifies the detour to this offbeat gem itself. Amazing interior design !

Anastasia

Great hidden gem . Admission is £5, and this includes free return entry within a year. Just ask the staff for the Free Entry Card to fill in.

Seamus McQuaid

It’s been said before by many people who have visited this gallery/home a real gem and off the beaten track .

The former home and studio of Victorian artist Lord Leighton is centred on the stunning Arab Hall . Leighton held the shortest hereditary peerage in history, dying unmarried one day after its award.

The Arab Hall is amazing!

Lorenzo Pericle Bonoldi

Posto meraviglioso per tutti gli amanti dell'epoca vittoriana. Nota off-tipic: alcune scene del video-clip "Gold" degli Spandau Ballet sono state girate qui.
