SPENCER HOUSE

Built between 1756-1766 for John, first Earl Spencer, an ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales, Spencer House is one of the most elegant and sumptuous private residences ever built in London and one of its finest surviving eighteenth-century town houses. Originally designed by John Vardy and James ‘Athenian’ Stuart, Spencer House is still owned (as of 2020) by the Spencer family, but currently leased to a company chaired by Lord Rothschild and has undergone a massive restoration. These days, it is let out for corporate and private functions, including weddings, but also has limited opening to the public.
