London, 5 July 2012

Visit to Leighton House in Kensington, the home and studio of the Victorian artist Frederick Leighton.  No photography allowed in the house but it's well worth a visit by anyone interested in the Aesthetic Movement;
the Arab Hall is amazing!

We followed Leighton House by a quick visit to the Natural History Museum - a bit of a culture shock!
