Prospero Society trip to Spencer House

Spencer House is a rare survivor of the great aristocratic palaces that once adorned London. Built in 1756-66 for the First Lord and Lady Spencer in a prime location overlooking Green Park, the house immediately became an important architectural landmark whilst the spectacular suite of State Rooms has played host to the social, political and cultural elite of each generation. Following its impressive restoration, undertaken between 1985 and 1994, Spencer House can once again be experienced in all its Georgian splendour. This is a tour of the house and its significant collection of paintings and furniture with a Blue Badge guide.
