The history of Wellington’s tenure at Apsley House is related in exquisite displays at the family attraction, including their development of the building in two stages, with stone cladding and Benjamin and Philip Wyatt’s addition in 1828 of the Corinthian portico, two west wing bays and the 90-foot-long Waterloo Gallery based on Versailles’ Hall Of Mirrors.
Restored in 1992-95, a ticket to Apsley House grants entry to 10 rooms including the Inner Hall and its leather-bound albums of Wellington images. There is also the Iron Duke's staggering collection of paintings, silver plate, porcelain, sculpture, ceramics, furniture, and orders, medals and memorabilia, making it the last of London’s great on-site town-house collections.
Normally entry fare of Apsley House is £5.70 but for free Apsley House tickets all you need to do is to present your London Pass on arrival. Free. You can buy “London Pass” and visit 71 Attractions in London instead of buying tickets at each attraction. It can save your time and energy.
