Days Out in London

Apsley House, also known as Number One London, is one of the most interesting visitor attractions in London as well as a superb idea for a weekend outing. Close to Wellington Arch, south-east of Hyde Park Corner, Apsely House offers the perfect blend between a fun filled family day out as well as a wonderful educational experience. The attraction has been home to the Duke of Wellington since his victory over Napoleon at Waterloo and is today one of the few visitor attractions that have not encountered many changes since it was built in 1778.  Another incredible fact about this attraction is that it is still being used by the family as a private property, something not that many family attractions can boast about.

As a visitor you will get to view 10 spectacular rooms, the sumptuous Inner Hall and outstanding porcelain and silver collections. It would not be home of the Duke of Wellington if it wasn’t to commemorate the all so important victory in the battle of Waterloo, which is why a naked 11-foot high Napoleon by Canova can be seen guarding the staircase at Apsley House. In addition to this, the family attraction contains exhibits of paintings by Goya, Caravaggio, Rubens just to name a few, which were given to the Duke by following his military victories over Napoleon.

London’s Clink Prison was one of the most feared and loathed institutions in the country’s history and the Clink Prison Museum is located on the very site of this infamous dungeon.

Operating for several centuries through the medieval period until the 18^th century, the Clink Prison originally housed debtors and prostitutes, but later came to be a repository for criminals of all kinds, including murderers, Shakespearean actors who’d fallen on hard times and even members of the Mayflower’s crew!

The fascinating, harrowing history of the redoubtable prison is related in a series of interactive hands-on displays and exhibits, including some of the original torture devices used on the unfortunates incarcerated in the Clink Prison’s dank, dark and dreary corners.

Every prison has come to be nicknamed ‘The Clink’, but none has the horrible history of the original black hole, and there’s no experience quite like it, making the Clink Prison a must-see family day out that’s open year-round and until 9pm on weekends. Just don’t overstay your welcome!
