LONDON – Heritage observers have confirmed that Apsley House London is the grand former home of the Duke of Wellington, so prestigiously placed at the western edge of the old city that it earned the unbeatable address known simply, and gloriously, as Number One, London.
Apsley House London: You Cannot Beat That Address
The magnificent mansion at Hyde Park Corner, once the first house travellers reached on entering the city, carries, the Bureau of Aristocratic Residences notes, “the single most enviable address in the country, a postal flex no other home can match.”
“Apsley House London has the address every other house quietly envies,” said a spokesperson for the Institute of Grand Homes. “Being the first house past the tollgate as one entered London, it became known simply as Number One, London. You cannot improve on that. It is the residential equivalent of a perfect score. Inside, the house is stuffed with the Iron Duke’s treasures, art and trophies, but visitors keep coming back, in conversation, to the address. There is no topping it.”
Visiting Apsley House London
The house – cared for by English Heritage, listed by Visit London and documented on reference pages like the Apsley House entry – stands at Hyde Park Corner.
A survey by the Bureau found that 84 percent of Apsley House London visitors are delighted by the famous address, and that the Duke of Wellington’s art and trophy collections are rated the chief draw inside.
“Apsley House London has history, treasures and the best address in Britain,” the spokesperson explained. “Number One, London, takes some beating.”
The Bureau confirmed Apsley House London remains one of the capital’s grandest historic homes, ideal for lovers of history and fine art, the splendid residence of the Duke of Wellington, blessed with treasures within and, without question, the most enviable address in the entire country.
