Edward Linley Sambourne who was one of the main artists for the satirical journal Punch, moved into this Victorian house in 1874. The interior decor, almost unchanged since then, is by William Morris. The furniture, which was inventoried in 1877, is still there. Sambourne himself designed the windows.

In the middle of Oxford Street, Oxford Circus, together with Piccadilly Circus, is one of the busiest crossroads in London and has a large underground station at the junction of three lines. Like Piccadilly, it is circular in shape, which gives it its name.

Indigo Jones designed a very sober building with balanced proportions and in the Toscan style (1633), that unfortunately burned to ground in 1795. The current building, constructed after the fire, is a faithful reproduction of the initial arrangement. Many famous people were buried in its vaults and in the nearby cemetery, such as the writer Samuel Butler, the sculptor Grinling Gibbons and the painter Peter Lely.

This elegant Palladian villa built by Inigo Jones was the first of its type in Great Britain (1616). Its white colour, its attractive horseshoe staircase coming down from the terrace (north facade) and its loggia (south side) looking out over the park distinguish it. The interior decorated carefully with restored brocades (1884-1990) to what it was in 1662, is set up according to the tastes of the 17C.
