Designed by Robert Adam and built between 1771 and 1778, Apsley House on Hyde Park Corner is one of the most magnificent of London’s grand houses. The house is best known as the home of the Duke of Wellington after his retirement from a dazzling military career that culminated in his historic victory over Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815.

Wellington enlarged Apsley House during his residency and enriched it with his magnificent art collection featuring wonderful paintings (including works from Goya, Rubens and Brueghel), porcelain, silver, sculpture, furniture and medals many of which were presented to him by grateful sovereigns in recognition of his military success.

Normally entry is £5.30 but for free Apsley House tickets all you need to do is to present your London Pass on arrival.

It’s a short walk from Apsley House to London’s largest park and nearby attractions such as the Wellington Arch and Harrods, as well as Hard Rock Café where London Pass holders can jump the queue and get priority seating, as well as a free hot fudge sundae and a free gift when you spend over £25 in the retail store.
