Oh it's a good one! Nowhere near as big but I can definitely pay it a visit with my camera

Cool. I was living your visit! More like this for sure - if only I was in the know sufficiently to suggest where next 😅

I think you'd like 8 Holland Street townhouse near St James's Park if you liked this. I might do that next!

The hand-painted runner detail... I can't! It's all so beautiful. Big swoon.

Honestly, I just wondered around doing a lot of dramatic gasping. It's SO much better than these pictures imply.

I love this review of your visit because you have mentioned details others have not....am so intrigued by the faux stove cupboard that I had to screenshot and zoom into your photo. The trompe l'oeil looks very effective. Though I'd love one of those actual stoves too.

Oh thank you! I wish I had a closer photo of the detail on that. They were storing odds and ends inside but I thought it would have made a great secret bar cupboard too.

Love this! I get the impression that even after multiple visits to 188 there would still be more surprise details in her work to be spotted!
