About

Sir John Soane's Museum

Free to visit, Sir John Soane’s Museum is the extraordinary House and Museum of the British architect Sir John Soane (1753-1837). Sir John Soane was one of the foremost architects of the Regency era, a Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy, and a dedicated collector of paintings, sculpture, architectural fragments and models, books, drawings and furniture.

No. 14 Lincoln's Inn Fields

Not generally open to the public, No.14 Lincoln’s Inn Fields was bought by Sir John Soane in 1823. The original house was torn down and a bespoke new property built to Soane’s design in order to extend his Museum even further. Passing into private hands after his death, this beautiful house was incorporated into Sir John Soane’s Museum in 1996. Today, it serves many important purposes, as well as being another stunning example of the architect’s signature style.
