At The Wallace Collection.  Hertford House, Manchester Square, London W1U 3BN

The Wallace Collection is located in Manchester Square, London W1U 3BN. It is a national  museum housing unsurpassed masterpieces of painting, sculpture, furniture, arms and armour,  and porcelain. Members will make their own  arrangements to travel to London  in time  for the tour, which will last an  hour.  Members are completely free to  plan  around their tour as they wish,  both in  terms of travel plans,  refreshments and meals on the  day.  The guided tour ticket includes  entry to  the Collection and the ticket may  also be  used outside of the tour time if  you wish  to go into the museum either  before or  after the tour to wander around by yourselves.

Around the time of the January TASO lecture, full details of the tour arrangements will be  advised so that members can securely make their travel arrangements and any other bookings  they wish. At the same time, the refreshment and restaurant options available in the building  will be provided to members. Alternatively, there are plenty of coffee venues and restaurants in  the area from which to choose.

A Tudor founder, blind book collector, wayward 17th century grand tourist, eccentric Victorian, Hollywood actor, commanding wives and dedicated daughters – Lamport is full of characters. As home to the Isham family for over four centuries, the fortunes, interests and trials of each generation have left their mark.The Hall is set in approximately 10 acres of tranquil gardens, the result of over 450 years of love and dedication, enclosed by a spacious park. Although their size and location are the same as when they were first laid out, their design has been strongly influenced by the interests and tastes of successive owners.
