From 1875, 18 Stafford Terrace was the home of Punch cartoonist Edward Linley Sambourne, his wife Marion, their two children and their live-in servants. The house gives an insight into the personal lives of the Sambourne family, and also provides a rare example of what was known as an 'Aesthetic interior' or 'House Beautiful' style. The Aesthetic Movement of the late nineteenth century advocated the use of foreign or 'exotic' influences in the decoration of the home. This can be seen by the various Japanese, Middle-Eastern and Chinese objects throughout the Sambournes' home.
Led by our expert guides, the informative tours give a memorable insight into the Sambournes' lives and home, from interior decoration, eccentric possessions, to their day to day activities. The tour will last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes and includes an introductory film.
>> WEDNESDAY 16TH NOVEMBER: SPECIAL PUNCH175's ANNIVERSARY GUIDED TOUR
To mark the anniversary of the legendary magazine where Edward Linley Sambourne worked for most part of his career, our Conventional Guided Tour on Wednesday 16th November will highlight some of the most remarkable works he produced for the magazine and will introduce fascinating insights into the role of the publication in the political and artistic scene in Victorian England.

The Aesthetic Movement of the late nineteenth century advocated the use of foreign or 'exotic' influences in the decoration of the home. This can be seen by the various Japanese, Middle-Eastern and Chinese objects throughout the Sambournes' home. After the deaths of Linley and Marion Sambourne, the house was preserved by their descendants. In 1980 it was opened to the public by the Victorian Society. This organisation had been inaugurated at 18 Stafford Terrace in 1958 by the Sambourne's grand-daughter, Anne, 6th Countess of Rosse. In 1989, its ownership passed to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
