Tucked away in leafy suburbs, Sudley is the only house of a Victorian merchant that still has its original pictures, including works by Millais, Turner and Rossetti, and with beautiful period furniture, carpets and wallpaper it doesn't feel like a regular gallery. There is also a childhood room, a small world room and a costume room, which often house temporary displays, and tearooms. Admission is free. « less

“Great paintings in friendly environment”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 4, 2012

After visiting other art galleries in Merseyside I was really pleasantly surprised to find some great paintings at Sudley House. Pre-Raphelites, Turner, Gainsborough, Romney. A beautiful collection that I'm very glad is being looked after by National Museums Liverpool and thankfully is still free. The room guides and video were very useful, the staff were friendly and the cake was... More

“On the outskirts...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2012

We got the train to Aigburth and then followed the directions we'd printed out from the website. It took us about 15 -20 minutes to reach the house - there were signposts for it a regular intervals. The house is interesting and each room had a a video of a character from the original household telling their story - which... More

I've lived in Liverpool for 8 years, and always meant to visit Sudley House, but only got round to it recently. I'm so glad I made the effort to find it (and it is an effort - situated out in the leafy southern suburbs of the city. It's not far from one of the metro stops, though). The house was... More

“A HIDDEN GEM IN LIVERPOOL”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2012

person found this review helpful

Although I have lived in Liverpool for many years and seen signs for signs for Sudley House, it took weatherman Fred in "Where's Fred" to highlight the gem that this house is. In addition to the history of the house the gardens are amazing, with views across to the River Mersey, and there is also a very nice cafe. It... More

Had an exhibition of a local woman's clothes and those of her children - gave a real flavour of the 1920's. The house is well cared for and there is a nice little cafe. Enjoyed walking around - it was early spring so lots of bulbs out. Very pleasant visit. More
