I recently visited Somerset House in London on June 12, 2025, and had an amazing experience. The architecture was stunning, offering a perfect blend of historical elegance and modern charm. I truly enjoyed exploring the vast courtyards and the captivating art exhibitions. Overall, I'd rate my visit a solid 5 out of 5!
I watched The Herds final performance at Somerset House, and it was absolutely amazing! The creativity, energy, and powerful message made it a truly unforgettable experience. The parade combined art, activism, and theater in such a unique way. Highly recommend checking it out if you ever get the chance!
I only walked past Somerset House and took some photos – but they turned out amazing! The building is truly impressive from the outside: beautiful classical architecture, full of details, and absolutely magical when lit up at night. Even without going inside, it’s definitely worth a stop. A great London highlight and a perfect spot for photos.
Visited as part of an open house event, with a guided tour. Wonderful location. It used to be called Denmark house. The Customs and HMRC used to be HQed here. The coffee place as well as the shop is very nice
I visited Somerset House during my last trip to London, and it quickly became one of my favorite places in the city. It’s not just an architectural landmark. It’s a place that feels alive with culture, creativity, and history all at once. The courtyard alone is stunning, especially when the fountains are on in the summer or when it turns into an ice rink during winter. It’s the kind of space where you can simply sit, relax, and take in the atmosphere.
