Two Temple was built for William Waldorf Astor, the second richest man in America at that time, moved to England in 1891. He built this gothic mansion in 1895, overlooking the Thames. At the entrance, there are 2 cherubs on each side, one holding a telephone and one a lamp, to celebrate the building among the first to have electric bulbs and working telephone. The main staircase, the stained-glass ceiling at the Great Hall was magnificent. We visited during the London open house week. Toilet available Nearest Tube station -Temple Street parking available but limited.
Just round the corner from Temple underground station and just off the Embankment sits this beautiful former home, now an exhibition hall. I went for a glass exhibition and it allowed free entry to the home so gave an opportunity to see the amazing wooden carvings, frescos, pane glass windows and intricate decorative engravings all through the halls. It’s a great building to look around and the exhibit was good too. Staffed by volunteers and not open every day so visit the website to be sure of opening hours. Lovely place to while away an hour or so. There’s also a souvenir shop inside if looking for a gift.
I love this place I found a website called Ianvisit, which happened to mention this place to visit over the weekend It's also good to look at the 2 Temple Place website for opening times as well before visiting the nearest tube station, which is Temple This place has two stunning places. The first is the stair case & the second is the long hall. You have to make your way upstairs, which is amazing, and then you enter the main hallway, which is breathtaking I would advise going here while the exhibition is on, which is on until April, I think I need to return to see this place without the exhibition on But I would recommend
I really love this place. It is like travelling in history. What a beautiful house, well maintained, beautiful decoration. I like the theme they show and explain...glass. glass as an art material and its use. Its flexibility. Amazing experience.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Great new old venue to add to the list. The building is a star attraction along with the exhibition. I went for an excellent glass exhibition on during April 2024.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A magnificent place to visit just for the chance to see the exquisite artwork of this hidden gem. Interesting art exhibition inside which I presume changes. Truly welcomed inside by those who care for this place. Free entry and worth a visit. Beautiful gardens opposite to sit in and not far from the Embankment Tube StationVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Went to see glass exhibition. Very enjoyable and made even better by knowledgeable guides. This is not a permanent exhibition but will definitely look for any forthcoming events.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Great new venue by Temple underground - glass show in - April 2024 - is excellent. If you miss this, look out for future events as the building itself is also a star turn.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
